while I was holding it, it escaped. Saw
several Uta along roadside and I
noosed one. At the parking area of the
Big Dunes we saw a large Cnemidophorus
and found where a cerastes had crawled
out of a burrow, made a pit and
returned to a burrow. Photographed it.
Saw numerous Uma (couldn't get close
to them) and several Dipsozaurus
(cought 1 od & 1 jaw). Kristine found
1 Phrynosoma full w/ large black art
in it. I tried to noose an Uma
that went in a burrow. Twice after 2-3
minute intervals it reappeared at the
mouth, but couldn't get it. Left at
1203 hs. It was hot & sunny till about
20 minutes ago - now overcast.
Next west N. on Posley Rd to R turn on sandy rd.
Saw many Dipsozaurus, some Uma & Callisaurus.
Looks like a good road. Put red flag
where we turned around to return (9352.6)
9352.7 - I spotted a Urosaurus gracilis basking
21m up on edge of an Atriplex. Missed it but
noosed another (?) in same bush.
9353.5 - Turn S. on Posley R. (Where telephone line
crosses Posley Rd.).
9355.0 - Jct. Palen Canyon Rd.
