April
4th. I stopped to look at the developing Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera
sempervirens) flower buds. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some movement.
When I looked closer, I saw a large Carolina Anole (Anolis carolinensis).
It
realized it had been seen and flattened itself against the branch. I guess it
thought it could merge with the branch and become invisible.
Gradually
it crawled further out on the branch.
In
flattening itself against the branch its body widened, making it look bigger
than it was – although it was one of the biggest anoles I’ve every seen.
A
really handsome anole and a nice sighting for the first anole of the year.
