| Wow, I had no idea they would be out so earlier in colder areas. And I've never seen a single one of those species, being mostly a Florida snake watcher. Most of the garter snakes I see down here are bluish, with some being downright turquoise green. If I ever get to your part of the world, I'm going to email you and beg for a guided tour! You see more good stuff. My only excitment lately were two birding trips to Emeralda Marsh (freshwater area) and BlackPoint Trail on Merritt Island (impounded salt water marsh). Fabulous wintering ducks, avocets, all the usual wading suspects, eagles, and even purple gallinules. But the only reptiles out were a few gators trying to warm back up after our freezes down here. Congratulations on a great snaking day! Marcia |
