Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Cal'f.
We were able to capture fairly large
numbers of Uma scoparia this morning.
Walt & Kent drove the road looking
for animals while the rest of us
collected on foot. By noon we had
an adequate sample, so we drove
to Old Dale, then south to Joshua
Tree Nat'l Monument to look for
Sauromalus & Crotaphytus collaris. For
some reason they were very scarce
today. We caught 1 Sauromalus obesus
+ a couple Crotaphytus collaris.
Then we drove through 29 Palms
on our way to Granddaddy Dune.
Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Cal'f.
We caught a few Uma incognata
before lunch on Granddaddy Dune. Then
we drove to our campsite near the
powerlines east of Garnet.
Aug. 11
We started looking for animals on
Granddaddy Dune at 0630. A large
number of Uma incognata were captured
rather early, so we decided to drive
to Vista Chino Road in Palm Springs
to get Dipsoaaurus dorsalis. (Left
D. Dune at 0840.)
Relatively few Dipsoaaurus were
seen the rest of the morning,
however. We were quite surprised at
the small number seen.
