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. 27 June
