I bet I saw at least 20 garter snakes on the roads today, unfortunately half were run over. Some red-sided, lots of plains, and also saw a few brown snakes. We have had some cold, cloudy weather the last week or more, and today we finally had a sunny day with a south wind, so I assume they were taking advantage of the solar power to get them to a place to spend the winter. I have never seen such a mass migration on one day, the weather conditions must have concentrated the effort.
