Every year I wander by a favorite spot in the northern Mojave that is well known for Leopard Lizard and Horned Lizard sightings. This year I only saw a single horned lizard:
However, this absence was more than compensated for by the abundance of Leopard Lizards on the scene. At least 8 individuals seen during an hour's walk. The prettiest was this girl in breeding colors:
In addition there were the usual bunches of whiptails. So many this time that rather than the usual solo scooting across the sand there were a number of pairs interacting as here:
Finally, I saw a couple of these guys racing around. Always a welcome sight:
One of the better hikes I've had at this site.
