Little lizard showing off its colors

June 12, 2018 by Tony Leave a Comment

These little guys were quite prevalent at the place we stayed in Orlando, Florida, and made for a fun photo op.

I believe they are Brown Anoles, a non-native species of lizard that was brought into the country from the Caribbean as pets and now have a range across Florida into Georgia.

In the mornings and evenings they would be scurrying about making you watch where you stepped. This particular one, had a favorite tree where it would move around, bob its head, then extend its dewlap. They never sat still for long and were pretty wary so it was a challenge to get decent pics of them.

This burrow is occupied!

July 7, 2014 by Tony Leave a Comment

While out taking pictures of burrowing owls near Denver International Airport yesterday something in one burrow caught my eye. Approaching cautiously – and using my zoom lens to get a closer look – I found a Prairie Rattlesnake had taken over the hole. From now on I will be a lot more cautious where I step when in that area. 😉
