Field Notes

Notes:

A large pile of rocks on the side of a hill had quite a few different lizards out sunning themselves. This one looks different than the Spiny Lizards I was mostly seeing.

Thanks Ashley. It looks a little different than the other Ornate Tree Lizards I found, but is the closest match on that Arizona site. Here's one of the others I found: http://www.pbase.com/image/116285629
This guy gave me lots of problems with his regenerating tail, but I'm fairly positive about it, double check for me though :)
