Herpetofauna: One Life's List

Sceloporus graciosus graciosus
Sagebrush Lizard

Tooele Co., Utah
July 17th, 2011

I spotted several of these lizards moving about a hiking trail that ran alongside the old Pony Express Trail.  I had seen a few Sagebrush lizards in SE Utah back in May, but was never able to photograph any.  These little guys readily ascended into the clumps of grass and sagebrush, rather than simply streaking away at my approach.
