Reptiles Seen on our Last Long Training Hike

We saw an otter, deer, and lots of  birds, including abundant red-headed woodpeckers on our morning walk, but we only managed to grab photos of reptiles. We were disappointed not to have seen tortoises, as we often have in the past.


An eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus)








































This was one of many seen during our morning walk.

A black racer (Coluber constrictor)
This mid-sized racer seemed almost as intent looking over us as we were interested in him.

A broad-headed skink (Eumeces laticeps)

These skinks grow larger than most other kinds of local lizards, and the adult males develop a red-coloration on the head, and particularly on the enlarged jaws.
