June 5
Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Walt Moberly & I left UCR at
0500. We reached the collecting
area at 0700. We began looking
for lizards at 0720, but apparently
were too early. We waited until 0800
and began again. No animals were
seen until 0830. Reptiles never were
abundant, nor were their tracks. The
area is so dry, apparently many of
the reptiles have died off. We looked
for reptiles until 1215. By that
time we had seen 1 Crotalus cerastes,
10 Dipsosaurus dorsalis, and 25 Uma
scoparia, as well as 1 Urosaurus
graciosa. We captured 34 lizards of
3 species. 4 Uma scoparia and 2
Dipsosaurus dorsalis were measured
and released. We brought the following
animals back to the laboratory:
Urosaurus graciosa - 1
Uma scoparia - 21 (16 ?, 5 )
Dipsosaurus dorsalis - 6 (4 ?, 2 )
Total - 28
We reached UCR at 1540 after a
trip of 218 miles.
