Sept. 14
Phelan area, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
for the night on Beekley Road at the
N.W. edge of Phelan at 1830. We
drove 208 miles today, after capturing
15 animals of 2 species, as follows:
Sceloporus magister - 11 (5 ad ♂; 3 im ♂; 3 im ♀)
.. graciosus - 4 (2 ad ♂; 2 ad ♀)
Maximum temp. today was 85°F. Minimum
temp. tonight was 46°F, We were in bed
by 2000.
Sept. 15
We arose at 0800, and started
looking for lizards at 0900. The weather
was rather cool but calm, so we were
able to catch several lizards. After
looking for lizards in the Phelan area
until 1200, we drove south from
Llano to try to collect more
Sceloporus occidentalis in the foothills.
We collected most of them at 4800 ft.
At this location we met a fellow
that had killed a 3 foot Crotalus
viridis about 1030 this morning. He
said he saw another one on the
road in the same general area
yesterday afternoon. We stopped
collecting at 1530. Our catch today:
Sceloporus magister - 2 (1 ad ♂; 1 im ♂)
Sceloporus occidentalis - 7 (5 ad ♂; 2 ad ♀)
Uta stansburiana - 5 (3 ad ♂; 2 ad ♀)
Xerhondrostus multicarinatus - 1 (ad )
Thus for the 2 day trip we caught
