Outside weather was mostly warm, breezy, 50-75% high cloud cover. At noon, we drove to the post office in Kelso and on our return at 1235 PST we found an adult Patch-nosed snake on the edge of the paved road (Species account: Patch-nose snake). At sunset, we drove to Hwy 66 (National Trails Highway) and then east for about 20 miles looking for snakes. On Kelbaker Road 5 miles south of Hwy 40, we found a road killed Mojave Rattlesnake; this snake, and almost all the other road killed rattlesnakes we found have had their rattles cut off. On Cadiz Road, we found two shovel-nosed snakes (Species account: Shovel-nosed snake). About 13 miles east of Cadiz Road on Hwy 66, we found two leaf-nosed snakes, one dead, the other alive (Species account: leaf- nosed snake). And on our way back up Kelbaker Road, we found a small Lyre snake at 2045 PST at Windy Point where the Bristol Mountains meet Kelbaker Road (Species account: Lyre snake).
