I see!

Actually, I've been thinking recently (not that I don't most of the time), that with this global warming and all, the snakes might be a little more active in wintertime. As you can see (in the photo) there's a swamp in the background, and the swamp never freezes. The snakes go there in the wintertime to brumate while the rest of their domain is freezing and being covered with ice and snow. Now when I go down there to do trail maintenance and trim the brush, so to speak, I've been thinking about those snakes in the swamp being a little more active than usual. I was wondering if any of them might venture out for a quick little look about when it's nice and sunny. ASAMOF, I thought I heard a frog croaking in the swamp just this past weekend, but I suppose it could have been a branch creaking.

I'll be much more on the lookout now for those evil, white-backed snow snakes, Doug. Thanks for reminding me about them, because I'm sure they're hiding out in the swamp someplace. Do you think they're like the hares, that are white in winter, but change back to their brown colors in the rest of the year, so when they come out in the open they're camouflaged? Oh, yea, I'm gettin' this now...hahaha!
