Walt & Steve started looking for Uma
notata & Urosaurus gracilis in the
dunes at 0700 while I petrolled the
road at the same time looking for
Phrynosoma m'calli. They found relatively
few large Uma, but lots of young ones.
I saw 2 DOR Phrynosoma m'calli (1
of which I could save) and caught 9
live ones. The last one seen (at 0930)
escaped me by going around the car.
By this time the temps. were getting
fairly high. I just made one round
trip between the canals, then picked
up the boys. We looked for Dipsoecamus
dorsalis a few minutes before starting
for home. We reached UCR at 1740.
We drove 194 miles today, and 1,589
miles on the entire trip. We captured
173 animals of 28 species during
the trip, as follows:
Chionactis occipitalis - 2
Chionactis palustris - 1
Phyllorhynchus decurtatus - 1
Phyllorhynchus worni - 1
Phrynosoma solare - 1
Phrynosoma m'calli - 15
Bufo alvarius - 1
Bufo woodhousii - 2
Cnemidophorus tigris - 3
Uta stansburiana - 3
Trimorphodon lambdoides - 1
