Identificaciones de latrigirl

Order: Squamata; Family: Gekkonidae. Identifying characteristics are toe pads with rows of closely spaced lamellae for adhesion, no eyelids. They are small, nocturnal insectivores, and many species can vocalize. This one was observed at night in my carport, 66 degrees F, dry conditions. It quickly scurried away when the flash of my camera went off, but it was presumably hunting for insects.

This bird was walking around on a sandy patch of ground on a sunny and clear day. It was most likely foraging or looking for a place to escape the heat.
