B.R. MOON 1987 Species Account Side Blotched Lizard (Uta stansburiana) 17 May Mountain peaks & ridge southeast of Goldstone Spring, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. I caught one lizard and saw several others in the mountainous area southeast of Goldstone Spring. They more common on the ground near shrubs and on smaller logs or rockpiles than on the larger dead piñon and juniper trees (burned) and rocky peaks. It seems that on these larger (and higher off the ground) objects the fence lizards, Sceloporus occidentalis, dominate the space. This is probably one way in which these two similar species coexist in this area. Both of these species range up to the highest peaks (1704m) in this area. The habitat here is dead (burned) piñon-juniper woodland on hilly, rocky canyon sides and on the flatter ridges with more low shrubs on loamy soil with large rock outcrops. BRM 93.
