7 mi. SW El Tejel (Yagunita) 7800', Chihuahua, Mexico
July 3
Bill got a small skink and three garter snakes were taken, two T. infipunctatus and a T. errans.
Ambystoma larvae were present in the stream, I caught three of four seen. Bill shot a water ouzel. Red fared warblers were seen, and red backed juniper (mutton trucks)
were common. A few trout were seen in the stream.
Between Arroyo Cuevo Blanco and Junas Ranch,
the forest loses some of the monotonous yellow
pine aspect present at our camp, through the addition
of oak, madrone and junipers
Collecting on a level, open stand of yellow
pine I found a Cervalus princei coiled beneath a
4" diameter log on dry soil. Sceloporus grammicus
was common here.
While we were looking for Eleutherodactylus in
the rocks near our campsite, I caught a Cervulus molossus.
This was after dark, and not too long after the afternoon
and early evening showers had let up. An Eleutherodactylus
was also taken.
Todays minimum temperature was 51°F, the
maximum 83°F.
