Western Fence Lizard - a photo on Flickriver

            This is one of the most commonly-seen lizards in California. Found in a variety of habitats throughout the state, except most desert areas, it is active during daylight. Frequently seen standing on top of rocks, boulders, fences, walls, beach driftwood, 
trees, as well as on the ground. Often found around suburban houses and yards.

Looking at the underside of males is a good way to differentiate this species from the Sagebrush Lizard. The rear of the limbs are orange or yellow on the Fence Lizard, but not on the Sagebrush Lizard, and scales on the rear of the thighs are large and keeled. Also, the male has a more solid blue patch on the throat.
