La Quinta Dunes at junction Ave 44 and Washington St. Est 2 mi NW La Quinta, Imperial Co. Ca. Stopped here from about 5:45 - 6:20 PM. D.B. Ruth Journal g 1969 May 6 La Quinta Dunes Riverside Co., Calif) I found a long tailed brush lizard in a sunny spot on a sage like bush near a cerasote bush. It jumped at the nose and bit it closing it but allowed me to nose it on the next pass. The dunes are soaked with water only the top 1/8 - 1/4" being dried out. It must have rained hard and fairly recently. We have observed water standing around in pools in many areas. We didn't see any other tallizards. Looking at the sand it appeared that we weren't the only one looking for lizards this afternoon. Road Runner tracks were followed
