Dangerously Low

Tucson, AZ

A Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) that was visiting
the back yard on this evening. My wife got a huge adrenaline rush when
she went out to feed the birds and instead got a warning rattle from this
fellow. This one definitely is not as mellow as the previous visitor, and I
wound up relocating this fellow miles away from our house.

I vote for relocation, hard enough to see these guys in the daylight, well done.

Way to close for my taste, none the less a great capture. This would have caused serious soiling of my laundry. :O) V
