Notes
Weather was in the mid 50's (F). Juvenile Western Fence lizard was found basking on the bark of a large, standing oak tree. While this individual is well within the range of the coastal subspecies, S. o. bocourtii, because I do not know how to distinguish the different subspecies, I am choosing the more prudent course and leaving this at a species-level identification.
