Curled pose

Spring isn't officially here until you start seeing lizards and snakes. This guy (and a more shy friend) were sunning themselves on the trail's berm. I believe this is a Little brown skink (Scincella lateralis) but the light makes it difficult to see if the lines are prominent enough to be a Five-lined one. The Springfield Nature Center has you looking up in the trees, the creek, and at your feet.
