A funny thing happens in the northern portions of the range of side-blotched lizards...they aggregate in anticipation of winter. I haven't posted many of these pics, but I have years of data on certain hibernacula where I've been counting the numbers of lizards active on any given day. Here I count at least 18 lizards.

It was 8°C (46°F) for a high on this date. That's about the minimum lower thermal limit for Uta activity. In this case, there was no activity for the two weeks prior to this, so this may have been the first chance to warm up for most of the 10 Side-blotched Lizards visible in this photo.

The snake was found in a wild banana patch, in the centre of a large stream (>10m width). It regurgitated an arboreal Snail-eating Pareas sp. indicating this is a snake eating species.

All the snails besides the left most snail which looks green around the aperture. I think the green looking one is Fluminicola turbiniformis.

An axanthic morph I came across just outside of Lost Lake! Probably the most exciting find of the season coming across this hatchling. Had to be no more than 8 inches in length.

Appeared only as a tentacle at first, but seemingly appeared out of nowhere from a hole in the sand. It wasn’t doing very well, and got swept down the pool, where it got tangled up with a northern kelp crab, which attempted to eat it. The octo inked, and got away, where it briefly hung onto the opposite side of the pool, before being swept away by a large wave. Extremely cool encounter, but this guy was clearly not doing well at all, unfortunately. Never thought in a million years that I’d see one here. Not sure on species, but it appeared to be different from the one I saw earlier this year in Yachats

Two individuals in what I presume was a failed predation event. Adult and juvenile locked together by the jaw. Lower jaw was locked together by the teeth. I unhooked them, gave water, and after a short time the adult was gone while the juvenile stuck around in a nearby bush.
I presume the adult tried predating upon the juvie, and the juvie got luck, grabbed onto the adults jaw, and hung on till they were exhausted.
