Great detail Sam! I can see how you can walk up on one without really seeing it.

Excellent capture of this beauty although not a good time to replenish the bird feeder. ~V

That would be a little too close for comfort! Great shot with him coiled and waiting and the full on face. v

What a beautiful snake but how in the world do you deal with them under your bird feeder? I guess the feeders don't get filled until he leaves. ;- )
