Here, H. 1984 24 March (continued) Another saw toads eating a dead toad. Found a ♂ Charina under a board. Under a single piece of tin there was a Thamnophis couchii, a Diadophis (escaped), and a ♀ Charina. Under a board was a T. elegans, and there was a T. sirtalis under a car hood at the edge of the forest. All the snakes seemed very scruffy, and only the T. sirtalis had palpable food, an adult Ensatina that had been swallowed tail first. Under logs and boards, we found 1 Taricha rivularis, 1 Anecides fenesus, several Batrachoseps, lots of a. flavipunctatus, and even more Ensatina. Saw quite a few Sceloporus occidentalis and 1 Eumeces. 9.1 mi E. of Flynn Creek Rd. on Old Springs Rd, Mariposa Co. This is an old N. facing road cut w/ a stream coming through it, at a hairpin turn in the road.
