Notes
Found 3 side-blotched that were all seen while hiking. I had already took a voucher picture of one so I did not coucher picture the others. Also had seen many others that were running away 10 feet or further away so I am not confirming them though I believed they were aide blotched also. On this trip I also saw/chased but was unable to catch 1 collared lizard climbing up a joshua tree and 2 tiger whiptail lizards which I chased but was unable to catch before they ran down a hole in scrub brush.
