Heene, H. 1988 August 5 (continued) Then drove down to State Line Rd. for some photographs. Missy spotted a long-dead cow, now moistened enough by the rain (I surmise) to have attracted 6-8 turkey vultures. After lunch at the Portal Cafe & a rest, we hiked the Ash Spring - Herb-Martyr Dam trail - to retrieve Missy's water bottle and take a sample of bark from the log where we caught the two Crotalus molossus . The site is shown as right on the 6100' contour on a topo map. Saw only a few Sceloporus jarrovii and S. virgatus. Thunder and dark clouds over the peaks as we walked out, and later when we stopped at the Cathedral Rock Vista Point there were scattered raindrops. Ran into Ed Heske (former MVZ student) over dinner at the Portal Store. Roood hunted up Care Creek Canyon to the SW Research Station and out ~5 mi E. of Portal, but saw only toads and 1 juvenile Crotalus scutulatus. August 6 Bright sun and blue sky when we awoke, and for the first time saw Urosaurus ornatus and Sceloporus clarkii on brick walls of Hardy's house. Road hunting on Portal Rd. We saw a neonate and adult (~1 m) Crotalus atrox (no food in either). August 7 Took Missy to Tucson airport, then road hunted over Gates Pass (Tucson Metro.) and out Sandario Rd. in the Arivac Valley. Saw only an adult Bufo alvarius.
