Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif.
creosote group. I had the dune
group. The wind blew constantly, so
very few animals were seen. To top
things off, Bob got one Travellall
stuck at the edge of the road,
which cost us about an hour. Then
Tony Roth lost the keys to one of
the Travelalls in the dunes. We
had to "hot wire" it to get it back.
Luckily, he had forgotten to lock
the vehicle before we went out into
the dunes. Night collecting was
just as bad as on the previous
night. Sunday morning the wind
was still blowing, so we headed for
home. We arrived at UCR at 1630 after
a total trip of 506 miles.
The only animals captured were as follows:
Chionactis occipitalis -1
Dipsodus deserti-1
Uta stansburiana-1
Coleonyx variegatus -4
Callisaurus draconoides -2
Dipsoaurus dorsalis-3
Uma notata- 37
Urosaurus graciosus -27
Total = 76
We also saw 4 Crotalus cerastes
while in the area.
