From last year's research, I believe this is a Western Fence Lizard. My digital doesn't do tiny well, but these two turned out somewhat. It's so cool on the rare occasions I get to see these fascinating little guys.
That's awesome that you get to start seeing yours that early. I've only seen ours mid-summer and can't determine a pattern of best-time-of day for them either. Once it was super early and once it was the hottest part of the day. They're just neat. (That picture was from August or so, forgot to say that in my blurb. I found a whole section of non-edited photos!)
