April 22 Estimate locality (mileage record lost) as 35 miles
south of Lucerne Valley (town). The red rover
log stretched out at edge of road. It apparently
was not really warmed up, since I was able to
mose it with a leather hose at the end of the
heavy smoke stick. The burned lizard was
spotted running at a terrific clip across the
road in front of me, trail erect as it ran. Bob
found it on top of a concrete mound about
14 feet from the road edge. We returned to
state Highway 18 and continued up back side of
San Bernardino Mts. to Baldwin and Big Bear
Lakes. Sceloporus magister (few) seen working
on boulders along the highway SE of Lucerne
Valley. Also Uta and Sceloporus occidentalis.
Baldwin Lake, 6674 ft., San Bernardino Co. We
arrived about 11:30 A.M. Lake dry and twisters
swirling up dust. First stop at north end
of playa. No animals evident save retaining pools
for watering cattle. We continued around east
and south end of lake. Dick Eakin collected
a juvenile B. brevirostris in small spring seep
south end of lake. Only food spawn found
save area (recently bottled out larvae).
at SW end of lake near the rock portion of
the westward-extending arm of lake adult and
subadult B. brevirostris (4) taken. Continued to
Big Bear Lake. Sunny but cool breeze.
