the Highway 78 bridge with water
flowing on the surface. We spent
the night (Saturday) camped in an old
stone shell of a building about 1/2
mile east of Burro Bend to get out
of the wind that had been blowing
all day. Sunday morning we drove
to Yaqui Well to look at birds &
try to find some reptiles. We then
returned to Riverside, arriving at 5:30 P.M.
Sunday. Because of the bad weather,
not so many animals were found
as expected. However, the following
animals were seen or captured:
