May 10 Univ. Calif. campus, Riverside, Riverside Co., Calif.
Those seen this trip but not last are:
Lesser goldfinch Bullock's oriole
Red-shafted flicker Costa hummingbird
Black-chinned hummingbird Wren-tit
Sage sparrow Cnemidophorus tigris
Cnemidophorus hyperythrus Lampropeltis getula
A roadrunner was found in the lizard
cage when Ruibal's group returned, so
it was collected & opened to see if it
had eaten any of the lizards. None were
found in its stomach or crop.
May 16 This afternoon at 1:45 P.M. the Zoology
146 class left UCR for the Mojave
Desert. We drove through Cajon Pass
past Hesperia, then turned right toward
Lucerne Valley, stopping at the Granite
Mountains, 8 miles west of Lucerne
Valley. At this location we saw or
captured the following animals:
Rock wren Black-throated sparrow
Sauromalus obesus Xantusia vigilis
Phrynosoma platyrhinos Sceloporus magister
Crotaphytus collaris Crotaphytus wislizeni
Uta stansburiana Cnemidophorus tigris
Lepus californicus
We remained at this location from
3:50 P.M. to 5 P.M. (PDST).
Then we drove through Lucerne
Valley and turned left on the
road that goes to Barstow.
