25 Sept continued. Same location, then thru Titus Canyon, Klare Spring,
around to Corkscrew Spring, then home
There was what appeared to be a kit-fox horror
in the wash bowl beside our tent. Only birds
we got a good look at here were Ravens. There were
some sparrows that I couldn't identify. Zebra-tailed
lizards in wash, Utah, many young, on pavement.
Packed up and left by 1100. Between this point
and Leadfield, saw 7 Aemmespermophilos, young
mostly, along road. Also a Rock Wren anda
Brown-headed Cowbird. Saw one Sylvilagus between
gate and red pass. One bighorn lamb running ahead
of us for about 1/5 mile, approx 1 mile E of Klare
Spring. Picked up skull of ewe first seen 7 Sept 1980.
Monarch butterflies were abundant in lower canyon,
saw 25+, feeding on Clergesthannuses which was profusely
in bloom. Parked at Corkscrew Peak sign on Boundary
Canyon Rd, and hiked to Corkscrew Spring to retrieve
our camera. The camera had fallen off its rock,
did not appear damaged. Numerous Zebra-tailed lizards,
nothing else. Temp was 100+, some high, thin clouds.
Finished at 1630, headed for home.
