In some older droppings were Chelonyx, Phrynosoma, Agamidae, and Ctenops. Dec. 1 at 10:30 went with Anita & Dick Sage to Refugio messenger. Sunny, warm. Packed up the hill above the Refugio and along the two lakes to the Shaley or stray ridge with clumps of large asphodels next to some large forest. Snow had decreased somewhat from Nov. 29. The theory of Chelonyx eating out large patches of amaranth under the snow still looks OK. 2:30 started setting out traps by runway under dwarf sagebrush and at two burrows, also (set traps, cage traps, Sherman, and MS). Also set 12 MS in bunchgrass at cliff bottom to the west. Anita set in a grassy wet meadow, partly with wild biscuit, and Dick set two traps. Made camp in over-mature large forest with the wood-loved Barbarea (Percei) under-story. Small woodpecker and great redfieldia, heard what-what, no amaranth in this forest. Some amaranth on the way up the hill near just sprouting (edge recently melted snow). A few Barbarea in various places on the ridge. at 4pm traps held 1 big gopher (not hoigi), 1 Chelonyx, 1 defens, and 1 longifolia. At 8pm, 2 Chelonyx in some cage traps at same time. At dusk heard one quart of two calling; 4 trees in rapid succession followed by pause, then 4 more.
