Hi Lester,
You'll probably be the best to answer this but anyone else who knows please chime in.
I was out at my favorite site today and saw a single baby HL. Don't know if it's the same one again or one of his brood. Anyways, I am amazed at his (or her) tiny size and I can't help but wonder how he's going to make it through the winter. I know this area gets up to 12 inches of snow once or twice a year, although it never lasts more than a day or two. How do these guys handle that? Especially since they must get wet, which seems would lower their body temp even more.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Cable-not this year, but last year during Thanksgiving Weekend Iwas hiking with kids in Palmdale and found a little 1 1/2 HL in a wash I was hiking in. I know that it does snow at this elevation in Palmdale, so I don't know if they come out when it's warm and sun or what they do, I've never really contemplated that, but I have seen these little bugars also in riverside late in the season, alsways the little ones, not an adult.........

All the way into late Nov! That's amazing. I figured they be in the ground before that. At least that would give them time to put on some reserves (fat). The place I'm talking about is very near Palmdale. Was yours a Coastal too?
