Today seemed like a pretty good day to check out a dozen or so strategically placed boards that look like this:
The first board had two milks under it, a yearling and an adult female. Smaller Eastern Milks often have "chestnut" blotches on a grey background, which chage colors as the snake ages.
The larger milk was this freshly shed female.
She was quite feisty and did a lot of tail vibrating and striking.
He's a photo of the younger one after I got it out from under the board. It had kind of a whacky head/neck pattern.
The most commonly seen snakes were Eastern Garters. We saw 10-12 of them.
Only one DeKay's Snake (Brown Snake) was seen.
The short outing came to a close with this way-cool male Eastern Milk.
It wasn't a bad way at all to spend half an hour in the field!
