Greene, H. 1992 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
