Anole on a fence post



This close up picture of what I believe is a Brown Anole was taken on March 30, 2015. At the time it was preparing to engage in a courtship ritual by bouncing up and down before expanding the dewlap at the base of it's throat. The pouch is very colorful and probably attractive to females. Unfortunately, it is also attractive to predators also. The predator list is some what short, including snakes, several types of heron, hawks, crows, cats, dogs.......
