Up about 7:15 am. Skies completely overcast as
it was yesterday. Walked along the river where
we saw the turtles & then checked out a box
canyon feeding into the river valley. Saw nothing
but a few Urosaurus ornatus.
Went over to the west side of the Rio Yaqui
just south of Norillo, Sonora so that Jim could check
the gopher situation and compare it to the east side. He got
Thamnophis unbrivius on the west side just as he had gotten it
on the east side. I did a lot of checking along the
river and finally saw or caught the following.
406
Sceloporus clarki: Several seen on the
trees and this one specimen taken off the rocks.
407-417
Urosaurus ornatus: many seen. very
common. The lizards seem more wary & harder
to catch on both this side of the Rio Yaqui & the
other than at other place. Got the following series
off the wooden railing of a corral.
