4 May sand storm that it wasn't possible
(cost.) to search for lizards. Then we checked
rocks along Snow Creek Rd for basking
lizards, hoping for a big Sceloporus
magister I saw there earlier, but got
nothing. It was very windy and the
sun was dimmed by the sand.
After this we headed for the UC Riverside
Garage, where we shifted all our gear
to Kristine's VW and lugged in the
Horset - we drove ~1350 miles. Went to
Ontario for a room and supper, and
will return to Berkeley tomorrow morning
by plane.
10 May Jewel Lake, Tilden Regional Park, Contra Costa Co., California
cold, partly overcast day. Went from 10:30-1:30
to visit one of my Zool 107 student,
Dana Kokubun, who is studying basking
and aggression in Clemmys marmorata.
We saw at least 6:3 on a floating
plant, w/ necks and limbs extended;
one smaller adult in the water that tried
unsuccessfully to climb on the plants
(it was gaped at by the largest resident);
one basking on a stump in the
water; and 2 basking ontiles at the water's edge.
