Notes

Three unvouchered fringe-toed lizards seen in dunes. All three dashed into vegetation before they could be photographed or even closely looked at. Fringe-toed lizards were eventually vouchered at this location in a later trip. Area is within city limits and is heavily frequented by dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles, which have dramatically reshaped many of the dunes.
