Buzzard
two corny
So Jamie and I signed up for the spring 2012 snake count, and today was the first day we really got serious. Here is a link to the event....

Now on to the excitment.....
We were on our way to the lake when we bumped into our first snake of the day, laying on the side of the road. We slammed on the brakes and hit reverse to remove this awesome gray ratsnake from the road....
Notice the tail or the lack of tail. (A well healed up old injury)
Then off to the woods after a good long talk about playing on roadways
So we arrived at the lake and started walking around the edge of the water, we noticed the dragonflies and damselflies were starting to come out..They were very pretty
So after chasing some dragonflies, we wondered through the woods rolling logs and looking in and around wood piles. We stopped to look at a neat spot, basically to see if we could hear anything.... Jamie proceeded to see a kingsnake that I was practically standing on.
We proceeded through the next hour or so to see tons of lizards, skinks ... Oh and hundreds if not thousands of tiny toads...
But no more snakes today.
So please if you have a few extra hours this week, go to the link.. sign up and happy counting.
