18, 1960 Squaw Valley, Placer Co., Calif. the upper part of Squaw Creek. Oh Well, maybe later. It was very clear and calm today. It also happened to be the hottest day we've been here so far, and got cooler much slower in the evening and was almost comfortable about 9 P.M. 19, 1960 Squaw Meadows, Squaw Valley, 6200 ft, Placer Co., Calif. Today Tony, Mary, Bruce and Dad went up to the Five Lakes to fish. I stayed down to hunt lizards. I left home about 10:30 after preparing all the specimens I got last night. I walked into the meadow across the street and was greeted by a couple of whites, so I turned back to get my net. I got one of the whites, a male beckeri (at lost!). Then I went down to the creek where I met a couple of boys (10-12) fishing. They hadn't caught anything, but said they got three garter snakes the day before, all of which escaped. Hopeful of getting some myself, I followed Squaw Creek eastward through the meadow. The only herptiles I got were a Hyla and a Bufo under a board in the creek (I didn't even catch the Hyla). I did get a few dragonflies, a male Libellula puchella, 2 males Aeschna umbrosa and 3 male Sympetrum (2 species), and also 3 male hycraeus helioides. From Hawk creek I went up to the granite outcroppings along the south side of the meadow to look for lizards. I saw a protocline on the way. Again I failed—all I saw were squirrels and chipmunks. At last the monotony was broken by a frit, which landed on the ground under a pine tree. I got it, a near perfect female zerene. I then decided to look for more.
