Herps can be just as hard (or even harder) than bird identification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are often best Identified by minute differences in habitat and range. If @SirVive's little guy was in coastal Oregon, without more photos I would leave it as Northern/Southern Alligator Lizard.

smskelton Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 We saw this the other day while birding in Catalina State Park. I have to say my dog was pretty interested. These guys can run about 40 mph and are about two feet from head to tail, the size of a medium sized dog. I think it figured we would not see it if it remained still. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOly Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Was birding an estuary and had a feeling I wasn't alone. Scanned an area near me with my camera and could see that I really wasn't alone. Bobcat... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Green Iguana. @Seanbirdsis the go to expert on Herps though. If I know it it is because he helped me. Just as additional information I don't see these where I live in NE Florida. I have to travel further south. This is true for many of the lizards in Florida. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smskelton Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Queen Butterfly often is sharing the same space with birds, but needs to be careful not to be included in the food chain. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine all the animals I walked past without even knowing because they stayed still 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
