The best place to find easterns is vertical rock faces. Vertical soil cliffs with lots of roots and nooks and crannies have also proven popular. I have always had good luck looking in the rock cuts on the sides of highways in the northeast. I have found many far from water and at almost any time of year (not the dead of winter)
They may utilize different habitats in dif places but I have never found one in an open field setting with only scattered cover, always rocky areas.
Once you find them, go back to that area. Easterns tend to stay put pretty well. I found the same eastern with a stub tail within 3 feet of where I found him the year before, and about 10 feet from where I originally caught him 4 years before that. I'm looking for a pic of him.
Cheers and good luck
