Fixed up telometers, watched toads & lizards, [crossed out] Toads were wandering out in the open at noon with warm body temps., almost all we found were small ones, about 1 to 2 inches long. For example, at 10:25 sunny and windy:
① yellow-footed mini-toad at 22.8° body temp.; dry bulb 17°, wet bulb 45°. It was hopping across turf-grass - Pycophyllum.
② Bufo about 2", hopping out in open, Body temp. .18.5°.
③ 1" yellow-footed mini-toad 28.0° Hopping about 1 ft from hide-hole rock, heading sea-line [crossed out] for rocks (corral rock).
④ 1" toad under rock, 15.0°
Lizards seemed to be above ground at erratic intervals.
Day 22 traps caught 2 akodon berlefschii and 1 toad.
Went out after supper (almost full moon) and saw several frogs hopping cross country with air 3°, their body about 8°
