the lizards were not very active in spite of bright sun and air temp of about 50°, little wind. also under the stones were many big fuzzy caterpillars, colonies of big black ants, large dun-colored beetles, a large iridescent wasp, and a medium-large tarantula (and some "woof" spiders).

Saw two domestic pigeons flying over the city, and a batten berry cannel along the sidewalks. First cost that we've seen. July 21 Temp at 6 am was 0°C. My traps held 5 phylloboth and Andy's 2.
