Its a Lizard (Not a Toad)
Date: August 17
Time: 9:32 AM
Location: 5 mi. E of Columbus, Luna Co, NM
Site: In a sandy field with desert shrubs, grasses and yuccas.
Weather: Skies clear, 5 mph SSE winds
Temperature: 79 F
Other: Area had received some light rain several days prior to our arrival.
Notes: When we approached this spiny guy, he took off in a short burst and then stopped suddenly. Every time we neared he would dart away again making a bit of a zigzag pattern while stopping briefly before changing course. Finally he allowed us to move in slowly for some close up shots.
