Sceloporus occidentalis
-3-
Sept 9 Red Mtn. 5300 ft., 14 mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.
I collected at 8:45 a.m. on an east facing
slope. It was foraging on bare rocky
ground at the edge of a Brewer Oak. It ran then
the oak to the shelter of a brown-berry
Manginita (Arctostaphylos). It
was collected as it ran out from under the
shelter of the Manginita. It had been in the
sun where the temperature read 75 F. This
location has probably been exposed to the
sun since its rising over the eastern
horizon. - Later I shot at but failed to
collect a large individual which was carrying
a large Mole Cricket to its hole. It
had been foraging in Jeffrey Pine needle
litter at 11 a.m.
