First field trip of 08

daniel1983 Mar 31, 2008 10:23 AM

Yesterday morning was somewhat cloudy and windy, but around 11 am the sun started shining so I decided to make a trip out to Pearl River Wildlife Management Area in Southeast Louisiana. I did not make it no more than 10 steps from my truck on my first stop when I spotted two black racers mating. After a few minutes of me standing next to a tree trying to snap a few pictures, the two broke it off and the big, jet black racer took off for a wood pile. I assume they either finished what they were doing or finally noticed me standing about 10 yards away. I managed to snap a few pictures.

Other than the racers I did not see much today. Skinks everwhere but none stuck around long enough for pictures. Just thought I would would share.

Daniel, that was a great shot! It never fails to amuse me what people think about their common species, but to me they all matter, as I have never seen one and passed right by that area thinking, ya know, that looks like a great place to herp! Keep posting them all and thanks for posting!
