Mayhew 1961 Journal 28. May 7 Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Co., Calif. Cophosoma agassizi Sauromalus obesus Callisaurus draconoides Crotalus cerastes Dipsosaurus dorsalis Urosaurus gracilis Western tanager Uta stansburiana Western kingbird Lepus californicus Loggerhead shrike Citellus leucurus Crow House sparrow Brewer's blackbird White-throated swift Tree swallow Barn swallow Deeote thrasher Say's phoebe Pileolated warbler Red-tailed hawk Morning dove Sparrow hawk at total of 221 specimens of 11 species were collected on the trip. May 11 Dale Dry Lake area, San Bernardino Co., Calif. at 0755 I left UCR to return some of the animals caught last week end by the field zoology class. These animals have been weighted, measured (S-v length), & toe-clipped for marking. 14 young Dipsosaurus dorsalis, 109 young Uta scoparia, & 17 adult Uta scoparia were released. On the way out I drove Vanier Road between Garnet & 1000 Palma, looking for animals. However, the wind was blowing so hard (20-30 mph) that no animals were seen for some time. I drove this road from 0845 to 1025 without catching a thing. A few Uta insomata were all that were seen. (Riverside Co.)
