I saw 4 first-timers: chuckwalla, zebra-tailed, long-nose snake and desert tortoise. Definitely the most productive day for me ever!

I cant help but throw these non-herps in here...

This is a ripiphorid beetle. Yes a beetle! The larvae attach onto bees when they visit the flower, and then detach at the bee's nest where they eat the pollen and bee larvae. They're really rare!

Very cool. Nothing quite like walking up your first tortoise or trying to get a pic of a wily chuck or speedy zebratail. Nice work.

Oh and I assume FORD means found on road dead (probably after being hit by a hick driving a Ford.)
Around here we use the acronym DOR or AOR: dead or alive on road.
