sprinkles until wind the late is
[illegible] cleared off and got still. Had a good cool
night's sleep except for the many trucks that
seem to come out after dark on [illegible] nearly
Mex. Hwy. 85. The least area we are in is
just a few miles north of Jacala via the hwy.
May
Awake at 6:30 PM to the sound of some
passing farmer asking Jim for a drink of
water and then a cerveza. Got up, had breakfast,
wrote up field notes.
Went back down the road a few hundred
Puerto
meters to the Puerta de la Zorra area along
Hwy 85 in Hidalgo. An area of oaks, a few
pines and madrone. Does not appear to be
as high as the El Lobo area just north of here
on Hwy 120.
Sam went down two sink holes but both
were very dry and there were no salamanders
to be seen.
We saw lots of Sceloporus
but the only ones we actually got were
two of Jim's. The males were blue headed
with a large rusty mid dorsal blotch
on the shoulder area. The Sceloporus were
on the lime stone rocks and the nearly trees
as well.
