There is no dearth of information about Yarrow’s spiny lizards and I bet it’s because they are so approachable and hello, the Madrean evergreen woodland and up into coniferous forest makes for a pretty nice place to do research. There is a wonderful description of Sceloporus jarrovii written by Cecil Schwalbe in Lizards of the American Southwest, A Photographic Field Guide, edited by Lawrence Jones and Robert Lovich. It always comes off the shelf with a couple other favorite field guides.
I suspect you don’t need help with fall apparel. How fun for us borderlands residents to start pulling warm clothing from closets or trunks as daytime temperatures start to drop. Brrr, 50 degrees!

The photos are mine.
