With two consecutive days of total sunshine and temperatures at or slightly above 60, the 2012 'season' has commenced here in northwestern Oregon. I visited 4 of my old sites and came up with 7 adult male boas.
There were a number of juvenile Northwestern Garter Snakes under some of the tins as well.
All 7 boas were recaptures and will be released where found.

Don't forget the juvenile aligator lizard, and the two species of newts we found. Thanks for an enjoyable day Richard.

To add context to mrkent's post, this morning (3/10), he drove from Washington to where I live in Oregon to pickup some spare Deer Mice from my laboratory colony. Despite less than ideal conditions, overcast, some light showers, and highs in mid 50's, we went afield to release 4 of the 7 boas I had found on the 9th.
In the process, we encountered the two boas I had originally found on Feb. 12th, three new adult male boas, and observed two Ensatina salamanders, one Rough-skinned Newt, and a subadult Southern Alligator Lizard.
