entered an oak forest with orange red soil. we camped in the forest just S.W. of El Lobo and just immediately west of the Tres Lagunas road. There are many rotting logs on the ground which looks inviting, also Sam has a couple of sink holes in the area for salamanders. We will work the area tomorrow. 1 May Woke up at 6:30 AM to lots of birds tooling around the oak canopy. Ate some breakfast and wrote field notes before heading for a spot west of our camp site as follows 1.8 - 1.5 miles west of the Tres Lagunas cutoff along Mex. Hwy. 120. Area of oak and madrone on both sides of the highway. 9:45-11:30 AM Sceloporus torquatus This species is common on the rocks and fallen, rotting logs. The lizards were easy to dig out of their retreats if those were in the fallen logs or small rocks. Many apparent hatchlings of which some of these are representative. Eumeces lynxe belli Sam got one out of a pine pole on the side of partly sunny - partly shady ravine. Color in life: brick reddish wash on infraorbials, chin and throat. & Crotalus triseriatus aquilus I got this snake
