April 9
Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Calif.
UCR, which we reached at 1810.
We drove 412 miles on the trip.
April 11
Mt. Rubidoux, Riverside, Riverside Co., Calif.
Today Walt Mobley & I worked this
area for April's Sceloporus orcutti
sample. We reached the area at 0930,
and collected until 1505. We were able
to collect 36 animals today, 21 of which
were Sceloporus orcutti. Uta stansburiana
(8), Sceloporus occidentalis (5), and
Cnemidophorus hypenrythus (2) made
up the remainder of the animals
captured.
April 14
Salton Sea area, Riverside & Imperial Cos, Calif.
The field zoology class (16 students) &
I left UCR at 1320 for the week-end.
We reached Mecca at 1500 and began
to look for reptiles 2 miles east
of Mecca. We caught 1 Urosaurus
graciosa, 1 Ctenosaura draconides, 1
Uta stansburiana, & 1 Phrynosoma platyphora
before we left at 1615. We spent
the night near Harper Well. I missed
the turn to the well in the dark, so
we camped about 1 mile S.E. of the well.
April 15
We hiked to San Felipe Creek this morning.
Very few animals of any kind were seen.
(No Phainopepla, which we often see here.)
We drove to Power Lake & ate lunch.
