From its perch at the top of the Honaker Trail, a long-nosed leopard lizard seems to enjoy the view of the San Juan River over 1,200 feet below.
This omnivorous species (Gambelia wislizenii) is well-known for its hunting prowess. A fast ambush predator, its diet includes small snakes and lizards almost as big as itself, including those of its own species. I can't be sure that this one wasn't sizing me up.
