Sierra Fence Lizard (male)

Sceloporus occidentalis

Description:

The strenous hike up the mountain was worth the sweat when we started finding these beautiful male fence lizards making their push-ups, jumping around and showing us their beautiful blue throats and bellies.

Habitat:

Up the mountain past Hotel Creek Trail, near Cedar Grove. Kings Canyon, CA.
