The girls have orange and yellow, and the boys get fancy with red in the middle.Green anole lizard, showing off. We have at least two other kinds of lizards that I can identify: the Texas fence lizard, and all the other lizards.Let’s assume this is a Texas fence lizard. It probably is.

I love the golden fronted woodpecker. It’s just so random that it has blazes of color on its head. I mean other birds have that feature, but the golden fronted looks like someone just took a paint brush and panted a splotch so you can follow the trail. Also, their beaks are so powerful looking! That’s true of most woodpeckers, I guess, but it just seems sort of outsized for their heads. Woodpeckers are amazing.
