Notes
Happened upon many as they conducted warmth or scurried across road. In same area came across Giant Hairy Scorpion at (8:26 p.m.). Good evening to cruise the Colorado Desert, even-though the night possessed strong breeze and quarter moon. Scanned road from (8:00-11:00 p.m.) in 27-C (80-F) temperature, few rodents encountered, but Coleonyx variegatus were common. In addition to seven Coleonyx variegatus seen (4 vouchered), other reptiles include Lichanura trivirgata, Crotalus ruber, and two Rhinocheilus lecontei. First voucher picture is a gravid female.
