Horned lizards are probably my favorite lizards in the world, so I was looking hard for my first Texas Horned Lizard in the 20 hours or so that we were in prime horned lizard habitat in eastern Colorado. After a long afternoon hike and then a long morning hike the next day, I knew my chances were getting slim. As my wife drove us slowly over the dirt road leading from Vogel Canyon back to pavement , I rudely made my sister sit in the back seat so I'd have a few last minutes of potential lizard-spotting from the front passenger's seat. It paid off this time, as I spotted this little beauty when it made a small movement as we drove past. Not that anyone's counting, but this is my third horned lizard spotted from a moving car, after one Desert Horned Lizard and one Regal Horned Lizard.
