Description
Santa Clara, Northern California, USA - This western fence lizard leapt out of the dried grasses on the side of the trail and tried to run away from us and hide. It went behind a metal fence where it met a wooden fence and found a ledge to perch on. It wasn't as invisible as it thought. I did my best to capture it without bothering it further. Luckily the front part of its body and its head were clearly visible through the gap. I like the trippy appearance of the fences behind the fences. The western fence lizard (genus saloporus) is also known as the blue belly due to its blue ventral abdomen. Males are more brightly colored than females. They are common in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Northern Mexico. From late October to March, they put themselves into a near hibernation state called brumation. These lizards are known for doing push-ups bobbing their heads and raising their tails, in a display of dominance and for courting a mate.
