Notes
8 adult and subadult tiger whiptails ID'd between 12:45pm and 1:45pm. Others were scurrying around but not positively ID'd. The first big adult vouchered behaved unusually - when first seen it fled by bounded up and down through the tall grass almost like a rodent, and then it perched on top of a rock, which is unusual for a fleeing whiptail. Only two vouchered.
