Northern Water Snake

This 36" Northern Water Snake had just finished a losing fight with a Snapping turtle. He had some injuries to his mouth and seemed to be in a bit of agony when it surfaced here.

Good shot! Sorry he was injured! Snappers are not anything to fuss with!

Wow, what an unusual shot! Doubt that there is another like it.
