Ruslan Balagansky Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 First time (birding or otherwise) on the Guy Fleming trail overlooking Torrey Pines State Beach and Los Penasquitos lagoon in San Diego: Ran across this handsome specimen: Who was staying very still to avoid being eaten by this falcon perched on a Torrey Pinecone: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/585672331 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from what I can tell, it's pretty obviously a Five-lined, not a Broad-headed. I'm really struggling to determine whether it's a Common Five-lined or a Southeastern Five-lined though. Any chance you got even the tiniest view of its underside? Edited July 4 by Seanbirds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 @Seanbirds Here is basically the same pose but closer in. Just tad of the underside shows near the head probably not enough to help. The other person on iNat has it as Southeastern. You say obviously Five-lined but for me who is not well versed in herps can you tell me what makes it obvious to you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
