Possibly really light helleri?

Feeding on a lizard at sunset in Johnson's Pasture.

This observagtion is for the lizard.

I saw this snake at rest for a while and then slithering away in the Ballona freshwater marsh.

This is a screen shot from my sons video-as you can see, a part of the tail is missing, thanks to the cat.

This was taken by my son after he got it away from his cat.

Eating a tail of another lizard

Caught and eaten by American crow on rock

Alive but dying (cat got it)

Snake was falling down a small slope and western fence lizard came and grabbed it

Prey source found nearby in form of Slender Salamander. May be small range extension into the valley for this species.

hyper-melanistic ring-necked snake. Possible range extension.

A very emaciated newt

Madrona Marsh

With Shrub Frog on nose?

Came across this young gopher snake locked in battle with a loggerhead shrike. Moments after I took this photo the shrike returned and carried off the snake.

So. Alligator Lizard just caught by Common Raven at edge of Hwy 1 at "Sea-lion overlook," a famed spot to view California Condor [several present at this moment]

Salt & Pepper, at sidewalk level again. He may have been hiding near the sweet alyssum or bird of paradise and came out when I was watering.

I believe this yellowlegs is eating an African-clawed frog.

Getting eaten by racer

Forked tail

Cat got to it, these things are so cool :(

Male competition, tangling, and thrashing

The photo was taken by Lisa Hatfield. Lizard survived the encounter with the young cat and was released nearby. Though it may have been injured during the encounter, and during subsequent removal.

This observation is for the prey of the egret

The snake couldn't get the lizard in its mouth because the lizard bit and held on to its own tail. The snake eventually gave up and let the lizard go.

Sharp-tail and black widow.
