Aside from birds, bees and bunnys, this is the most prevalent critter seen in and around the garden. Since the heat was turned up about a month ago, this lizard, which I believe to be a Western Whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris), started showing up at the leisurely hour of 8 AM. I've even witnessed the capture and consumstion of a grasshopper. Very exciting! Friday, May 29, 2009

OK, call me crazy--but lizard boy here has markings similar to a gila woodpecker. Or do I mean a cactus wren? Or am I just crazy?
