Always amazes me how many people when they hike just blow by things and miss the wildlife. At sugarloaf there are always way too many people hiking since its one of the nicer places to hike close to the Rockville/Gaithersburg/Germantown area. Here at the top I found that the lizards like to sun themselves on the rocks. Saw two big ones (probably 6-9 inches long) that startled me as I put my food on the rock. This common smaller Blue Tailed Lizard or Five-linked Skink didn't scare as easily and I could get a picture. Probably 20 people went by and nobody saw it... Oh well...
