Holcomb Valley, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
We reached the yellow pine area
at 1400 and began looking for
Sceloporus graciosus immediately. We
captured 26 of them by the time we
quit looking at 1600. Several juvenile
S. graciosus were seen but not
captured. Then we returned to Lucerne
Valley & drove to Pickaninny Butte
to look for S. obesus again.
Pickaninny Buttes, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
We drove around the western side
of this range of hills without seeing
a single S. obesus. It didn't
appear too late in the day - there
just didn't seem to be any
animals around.
Stoddard Valley, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
We drove on to this valley and
camped for the night. The minimum
temp. tonight was 70°F., the
maximum temp. we encountered was
102°F.
Aug. 19
We arose at 0630 and ate breakfast.
We looked for Callisaurus draconoides
& Cnemidophorus tigris from 0730 to
0945. Then we drove the road through
the valley that skirts a number of
rocky areas. We were looking for
S. obesus again, but still saw none.
