Field Notes

Description:

Saw this tiny green bird fly past and settle on a tree trunk whereupon it turned into a Lizard.<br> There are several species of Draco lizards but only D. cornutus has a lemon-tipped gular pouch and totally green head and body. <br> It stayed in this position for about 45 minutes but I did not see it reveal its membrane wings, though they are partially visible in some of the photos, tucked under its body.

Habitat:

Equatorial lowland rainforest.
