Heene, H. 1993 July 25 (continued) Urozaurus ornatus, Holbrookia maculata, Cnemidophorus and a ♀ Sceloporus scalaris in bunch grass - she also saw S. clarki. Fred & Phil left after lunch, July the new gravid ♀ C. willardi we found this AM. Kelly walked down main canyon bottom, spottted 2 Cnemidophorus snoae and found a young ? C. lepider which we processed (see Dared Hardy's C. willardi study site notebook. For the mid- afternoon I located all 5 helenated C. willardi back in their shelters - gravid ♀♀ # 14 & 15 under rocks, pair #16 & 17 under same bunch grass, and ♂#8 under bunch grass. Took photos of 14& 15. I found a neonate Phynosara doufosi active in the middle of the road. July 26 a warm cloudless morning. Sometime last night, before midnight, I heard again smsthing disturbig cobbles on a nearly slope - then a bird squawking from the same direction for a couple of minutes. at 0740h I found C. willardi ♂#8 in exact same place & posture - I now doubt that he has moved in the two days we've been here - on sunny east facing canyon wall. at 0750h I spotted C. willardi ♀ #15 under a rock on the left side of little gully on the west canyon wall, x1 m from the rock faciing down gully where she was yesterday - photos of her head & posterior body coil facin out in edge of sunlight. at 0820h. C. willardi ♂#16 & ♀ #17 under same bunch grass
