October 2 (continued) reception antenna and she moved her head calmly ≈5cm toward me but didn't rattle. Each day I've thought the lump has shrunk – it's still large but distinctly smaller and less lump-like than on the 29th when I first saw her. At 0729 hr I found C. molossus ♂ #1 coiled tightly in the same place as yesterday, except he has turned ≈ half way back toward the shrub base; some splashes of sun are already on him. At 0754 hr, after ≈10 minutes of close searching, I finally spotted ♂ #3 < 0.5 m from yesterday's site – in a tight coil w/ tail hidden and head in the center and slightly up tilted – this might have reflected postural adjustment to my stomping all around him! Left Portal in the rental car ≈0900hr and Tucson by plane via Phoenix to Oakland and Berkeley.
