Here, H.
1980
27 June (cont.)
We drove past some sort of quarry operation,
then walked up into junipers and boulders.
This was from ~1700-1930, saw only Uta
(basking on rocks along road cut) and 1 nice
big ♀ Sceloporus graciosus. Next parked at
the quarry and walked across the sage flat
to the upper edge of the ledge. It is
a long, massive outcrop, very visible
from (and ~0.4 mi W.) Hwy 68. Here I
found a small Pituophis crawling into
a crevice at the base of the tin-roof.
I suspect it was hunting, since this
would seem a good time (~1950h) and
place to catch sleeping lizards.
