Decided to see what was happening in the Midwest in late September. My first stop was in NM, where Chris Newsom (ChrisNM) and I searched this habitat:

We found these hatchlings on September 23rd:
New Mexico Milk Snakes


Next, I headed to Nebraska, to scenery like this (Those hillsides are crawling with Prairie Rattlers in late September. I saw 9 of them.):

and this:

I saw these two Pale Milk Snakes on September 26th:


Both were hatchlings, and one had an obviously big meal in it. Two other pales were also observed, but the photos are fuzzy...oh well...
I next went to Kansas and saw the usual bunch of milks, kings, ringnecks, garters, etc, including a new county record for a Barred Tiger Salamander. I also met a few new friends at the KHS field trip on Oct. 3rd. I didn't take any pics of the event, but it was great to herp with 90 other people, all in the same area. Later, I thought this scene was a nice contrast of prairie usage:

The cows don't seem to mind their new neighbor at all...
Thanks for looking...
