At 1632h (accompanied by Sarah Schmidt and 4 relatives) we found ♀ #15 ~1m closer to but still below the road. At 1700h we found C. molossus #9 under a large root of the 1st juniper on the edge of the ravine, where ♀ #16 had crawled this AM. August 12 Nearly overcast, cool. At 0818h we released C. molossus ♀ #16 at her capture site. At 0832h we found C. molossus ♂ #3 startled in the rock retaining wall and released C. molossus ♀ #17 beside him. At 1035h we located the signals from the same holes as previously. At 1130h we found the signal of C. molossus ♀ #12 at the same boulder, but couldn't see her and I detected a musty smell at the entrance. At 1136h C. molossus ♂ #13 ~100 m SSE of yesterday's site, ~40 m N of the road and 60m S. of Pole 1. At 1159h C. molossus ♂ #9 is on the east side of the ravine where I first saw him this month, ~75m N of the road. Dave, Michael Forger and I road hunted to Bernardino after dinner, and caught live Sistrurus catenatus and Bufo alvarius. August 13 Overcast and cool, some sun by late AM. At 0815h, we located the signals of C. molossus ♂ #3 & ♀ #17
