Notes:
After hiking for over three hours hoping to spot a horned lizard in a new locale, I finally came across this large one just off the trail. The majority of the habitat in the area is chaparral, but the S and SW facing slopes have coastal sage scrub. This guy was found up high on a SW facing ridge. Probably the largest CHL I've ever seen. All photos are as found.
