29 may Foshay Pass, Providence Mountains,
San Bernardino co., CA.
and out to Essex Road. From there we
drove up to Bonanza King Mine and looked
around the ghost town of Providence at the
mine. There are several pieces of old tin
scattered throughout the creosota covered
hillside, but we found only woodrats under
them.
So back to Essex Road and west over
Foshay Pass again. On Vulcan Mine Road,
where the mountain ridge comes near the road,
we found a dead adult leopard lizard that
had eaten an adult Uta (Species account:
Leopard lizard).
We stopped on Vulcan Mine Road to take
some more photos of the sunset over the Kelso
Dunes, then we drove toward the summit of
Kelbeker Road near the Kelso Mountains. On
our way up to the summit we found a long-
tailed Brush Lizard on the pavement just after
sunset (Species account: Long Tailed Brush Lizard).
After dark we found a gecko on the pavement
south of Kelso on our way back to Dorner's
camp for the night (Species account: Banded Gecko).
