Greene, lt.
1992
August 19 Near Scotia Canyon, Huachuca Mtns., Cochise Co., Arizona
We arrived here ~0800h - w/ Sarah Schmidt, Dave Hardy,
and Michael Fozder; met up w/ Fred Wilson and his
friend Mike Mittelman from Staten Island. Warm &
humid, some clouds, evidence of rain earlier today.
at 0855h I grabbed a small adult Salvadora
grahamiae crawling in rocks beside the road; it
wretched and cloacal discharged, did not bite. Fred
and Dave looked for our radiotagged Crotalus
willardi while the rest of us searched the
opposite (S. facing) slopes of the main canyon.
Fred got a new subadult C. willardi in our
study area (#10), which Michael used for
photos. We went to search rocks piles in the
main Scotia Canyon, and at 1030h I got a
Crotalus lepidus which I wound then saw
crawl beneath one of hundreds in a flat pile -
but it went no deeper. Re-visited a Sceloporus
clarkei (sawed), at ~1200h, while we sat on my
tailgate eating lunch, Sarah spied a ?Phrynosoma
douglasii in grass at our feet. Also saw several
Urosaurus and Cnemidophorus, and 2 Thamnophis
cyptopsis. Sarah identified all major trees &
shrubs here: Arizona white oak, Emory oak,
alligator juniper, Mexican pinyon, squawbush,
a manzanita, sotol, cholla, a little "rainbow
cactus". No other pines; the site seems to fit
