Apr. 19 Field Trip To Palm Desert, Riverside Co., Calif.
Coleonyx variegatus (1)
Dipodomys deserti (3)
Animals captured on the first trip:
Phyllorhynchus decurtatus (2) - 1.4 mi. W. of
1000 Palms on old highway; 2.8 mi. W.
of 1000 Palms on old highway.
Callisaurus draconoides (1) - 2.9 mi. W. of
1000 Palms on old highway.
Coleonyx variegatus (1) - 5 mi. W. of
1000 Palms on old highway.
The second trip out used Rio del
Sol road to 1000 Palms, then east
on the road to 1000 Palm Canyon
until the road was no longer
paved. We then followed the old
highway west from 1000 Palms
to a paved road the S. Calif. Edison
Co. maintains along its power line.
We followed this until the pavement
stopped, then turned on Dillon Road.
This road was followed until a
sign pointed to Indio to our right,
which road led us back to the
old highway again & then back to
camp. Dead animals seen were:
Uma inornata (1)
Phrynosoma platyrhinos (2)
Callisaurus draconoides (1)
Crotalus cerastes (1)
Dipodomys sp. (1)
