Mayhew 1964 Journal 1. Mar. 23-25 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Scott Fowler, Bill Crowley, Bland Ewing + I left UCR at 1025 to try to get some Phrysozona m'calli to finish my oxygen consumption studies. However, it is still winter in this region. The minimum temperature we recorded on our trip was 28° F. Lots of flowers are in bloom between the Highline & Coachella Canals, but not many in the dunes. Only 2 P. m'calli were seen on the trip (both immature), + 1 of those was DOR. We saw only half a dozen or so Uma notata in the dunes, as well as an equal number of Urosoma graciosa. Three Uta stansburiana were seen in the crosote area. That was the extent of the lizards seen on this trip. Several interesting birds were seen, however. A flock of about 50 dark huntinga were feeding along the S.P. tracks about 1 mile S.E. of Glamis. Several Swainson's Hawks were present in the area just west of the Highline Canal. Several ground doves were observed at Indio on the way down.
