Common Side-blotched Lizard

On By Mike and Christy1 Comment
Although they may had been just a bit too large I felt like reaching down and handing this little Side-blotched Lizard my sunglasses as they made their way out from the dark crevasse in the rocks into the bright afternoon sunlight. The Side-blotched lizard is one of the most commonly seen lizards in the drier regions of the western United State. These small lizards are between 4-6 inches in length and coloration can vary greatly.

Lizard and Light

We spent quite a bit of time watching this good looking guy hunting for insects on a rock in the forest and waiting patiently for him to move into a very small patch of waning light to snap a few photos. He finally came out into the light and when there held a nice pose for a few seconds while checking us out before resuming his hunting in the shadows.
