Eastern Collared Lizard — Image by kenne
Another sign of spring in the desert are our reptile friends, most scurrying about making it difficult to photograph. But not the eastern collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), who like to pose for you on a nearby rock.
Welcome back, my friend — it is spring time in the Sonoran desert.

Another sign of spring in the desert are our reptile friends, most scurrying about making it difficult to photograph. But not the eastern collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), who like to pose for you on a nearby rock. I have other photos of the lizard from earlier springs, and could have easily used one of them, but this image was taken a week ago.
Welcome back, my friend — it is spring time in the Sonoran desert.

The Eastern Collared Lizard is a beautiful lizard — the most beautiful in southern Arizona. He was first spotted in the brush along the Douglas Springs Trail, then climbed up on a near-by rock to pose for me.
