Back to showing pictures of Back Bay in Newport, CA where it is sunny
and warm
and it does not snow (like it did in Utah last night)
There were these beautiful lizards with blue undersides that came out onto pavement and rocks to do pushups. Here’s the sequence:

I got pretty close to him, but everything happened so quickly that the pictures aren’t properly focused. I saw a new bird on this trip, the Cinnamon Teal.
They’re very aptly named birds. Most of the duck is cinnamon, with a little teal on the wing.
These are of course males. The females look like all other ducks, so I can’t be sure if the brown-colored ducks I saw were Cinnamon Teals or Mallards.
The ducks were all sleeping and preening. I managed to get a nice picture of their bright-red eye.
These guys are not quackers like Mallards. The loudest noise that they’re supposed to make is a “Peep”
You got the lizards pumping!!! This is one of my favorite things, I love it – very cool sequence.
Thanks! It was very exciting to watch. And such pretty lizards.
I love, love, love the lizard sequence. How fun!
Thanks Mary! They’re so cool.
