I took a few hours over at Sabino Canyon here in Tucson . Here are a few photos of some of the dozens of lizards I saw.

Great photos! I didn't realize we had collareds in Sabino Canyon, I've only seen them further west.


Just trying to be better than I was yesterday.

Great series!

Those are terrific Jeremy, well done! I'm not an expert and I haven't been to Arizona for a few years, but my guess is your mystery lizard could be an ornate tree lizard.

Thanks Jeff.
Those last 2 are Greater Earless Lizards.
There are dozens on the trail I hike to shoot pictures.
They're very colorful. Getting their bellies is hard though so you have to hope for a display by them.

I lay on the ground on hot, sharp rocks waiting for a
Lizard to get on a good rock and do some push-ups.

It's a good way to spend a late morning. Except they don't come out til its over 80-85 degrees. They really like it to be over 90 though.
