Greene, H. 1985 Journal 11 January Bigah Lava Flow, San Bernardino Co., California Claudia Fuke and I arrived here ~1600 yesterday after two days of working in the Los Angeles Co. Natural History Museum. Spent today walking around, taking temperatures on the lava and adjacent areas (Claudia's data), and working on an old trail she found last fall. It is ~ 2 km W of the crater, reachable by walking on a track that runs off (to the W) of the Mining Company Road to the Crater. Sunny, partly cloudy, windy and chilly at times (Claudia got a max. lava surface temperature of 26.2, shaded; rocks were warm to the touch throughout midday). Saw no reptiles but lots of scats of Sauromalus and Nestora. 22 - 23 February Pismo Regional Park, Contra Costa Co., California Took my natural history class to the Alhambra Valley Rd entrance both mornings. Beautiful days, the hottest on record since 1849. Still Taricha and Hyla in the ponds but most activity is evidently over - saw many egg masses of both, but only a few newts in amphipus. Saw 7-9 adult Clemmys marmorata basking at the uppermost lagoon in late morning both days. Also golden eagles, Sceloporus occidentalis (out basking), and a last fall's hatchling Larperpeltis getulus - under a rock and bearing a fresh wound (bird peck?) just anterior to the cloaca. 1-2 March Returned w/ my natural history class to the Bear Creek Rd entrance. Weather cool, windy, overcast to
