Notes
First, found the juvenile near base of outcropping while observing Granite Spiny lizards. Then took a close look around and noticed two large adults in the short grass nearby (Can you find them in the 2nd photo?). When approached, the smaller adult retreated into a burrow, but the larger adult buzzed and charged me.
