Back in 2020 I wrote a post about an Eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) that “greeted” me at the gate most afternoons when I arrived home from work. Of course, he really wasn’t there to greet me, he was there because it was a good place to warm in the afternoon sun. Still I got kind of attached to him (I’m not even sure it was always the same lizard!) and looked forward to seeing him every afternoon. This year, my routine greeter is a little female green anole (Anolis carolinensis). Again, I’m not sure it’s the same one each day, but I see one pretty often in the summer grape vines that grow along the fence line. It frequently pops its head out of the leaves to see what’s going on, but it doesn’t usually run away. I hadn’t taken its photos until the other day, so I thought I should before the summer ends and she quits going there to sun herself. She was definitely interested in what I was doing, but even with the extra attention, she didn’t leave. Either that’s a great sunning spot, or I just attract lizard greeters. Which do you think it is?
