August 12 Billie Dave, and I spent the morning driving to East Whitetail and Jhous canyons, on the northeastern side of the Chiricahuas - saw only several Sceloporus janovi, and the skeleton of an adult Pitophis melanoleucus beside the small stream in Jhous Canyon. After an early dinner, Dave, Barney Tomberlin, and I road hunted to the Sistine's site and back - saw one neonate C. scutulatus, one neonate C. atrox, and three adult C. atrox, as well as a few Bifo and Scaphiopus.
August 13 Left before 800 hr w/ Dave and Billie and went to the slide area ~ 1/2 mi E. Barfoot Lookout, where I saw the two Crotalus molossus on the 10th. Beautiful weather and lots of Sceloporus janovi and S. viridatus, but no snakes. After lunch stopped at Barney Tomberlin's, where a friend of his had for me an adult Diadophis punctatus from which I palped a small adult Hypsiglena torquata. Dave and I rode hunted in Care Weele Canyon and E. of Portal from ~ 1830 - 1730 hr then went to a party at the S.W.R.S. Talked to Kim Sullivan (Utah State U.) who has three records of Crotalus pricei eating junco's at Rustler Park. Driving back, by the Lajie's place, at 2215hr we found an adult Crotalus molossus immobile and stretched!
