We began looking for lizards at 0615, (David Ruther went with us) & stopped walking looking for lizards at 1035. We drove along some of the roads looking until 1200. After lunch we began looking again at 1545. Few animals were seen, however. We parked at the corner of Travis Way and Country Club Drive (formerly avenue 40) in Rancho Mirage at 1700. One Uma inornata was seen at 1720, but no other animals were seen before we quit looking at 1730.
