While resting below the Panama Fruit Feeder Cam, this male common basilisk lizard was spotted bobbing its head in different directions. While this may seem like an odd behavior, many species of lizards use head-bobbing as a way to communicate. These up-and-down movements are used as a way to announce their territory, to assert dominance, or to court mates. See them LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/PanamaFeeders | Bird Cams
