Love Moves

Sabino Canyon

A male and female Desert Spiny lizard pair doing their mating / courtship
routine, where the smaller female was nudging the male and going underneath
him. He was head bobbing and nudging / licking her as they took turns engaging
each other. We watched for a good 5 minutes before we got bored and moved on.
They really did not seemed bothered by us being less than three feet away from
them while they were in their little love dance. Very cool to witness.

This really was a great day for seeing a wide variety of reptiles in Sabino:
