Greene, H. 1992 August 3 (continued) ledge at top of big gully, on E side. He was pulling back under when I spotted him, and rattled very briefly. There is a Netoma nest under the ledge; at 0944 hr, as we walked E, we saw a huge Scolopendra heros crawling lazily in shade in the road cut. At 1004 hr we localized the signal of C. molossus #11 to a hole under a bush x 50m N. of the road and x 250m W. of the Forest Service Boundary. At 1046 hr we found C. molossus ♀ #12 roched into a cavity under Opuntia pads, x 2m from where she was heard yesterday. After lunch preserved a young ♂ C. molossus found in a shed a week or so ago at the Forest Service Visitor Center. August 5 Returned around 1030 hr after overnight at the SFAE meeting in El Paso. Went to Douglas w/ Sarah Schmidt to grocery shop and do laundry. On the way back stopped to see barn owls and pallid bats in the attic of an old house at the Bill Klute ranch. Big electric storms here and there x 1730 hr. Early this AM, 1035 hr, an adult Masticophis bilineatus zipped off the road into the Hardy's house. August 6 Started searching for radiotagged blacktails x 0800 hr. Vegetation is wet, puddles in road and in holes in rocks everywhere on Limestone Ridge. At 0856 hr I got clean signals from Crotalus molossus ♂ #8 and ♀ #14 from the same hole under rock where I left
