August 21 I hunched slowly to the top of Limestone Mtn.,
heel aching, and fortunately started checking
signals immediately - located C. molossus ♂ #8
on a rock shelf on one edge of a Sotal-sized grass
clump ±75m W. of previous site and facing NE
from the N side of the ridge. He was in an open
coil head on rock, and looked tucked! I
touched him gently w/ a stick and he flinched.
C. molossus ♀ #13 signal comes from the same
big grass clump, so they have changed site
together. At 1020h C. molossus ♂ #17 is pulling
her tail into the same crevice as yesterday - due
to my arrival so close? No signal there for ♂3.
At 1035h I found C. molossus ♂#3 ±200m N of
that site, under the N. edge of a juniper in
deep shade, in a hasty coil facing the trunk from
the tree's edge - he is ±500-750m due W. of Pole 1
on the first ridge NE of the N. banks of Silver Creek
and NE of the big ridge that parallels the road. At
1100h I found the signal of C. molossus ♀#12
under a rock under a large bush (Rhus choriophylla )
associated w/ Netorva nest, ±20m SE of last
site and ±40m SE Pole 1. Barney gave me a
♀ Sceloporus clarkii he caught in Portal that
died of heat in his truck. Went to Agua Prieta
(Sonora, Mexico) for dinner w/ Sarah Schmidt and
Wade Sherbrooke. As we passed through the
