 At Klondike Bluffs - and there was a rattlesnake at my feet! |
 On ducking out from the juniper I looked down & was quite shocked |
 It was a Midget-faded Rattlesnake, & was unmoved by our noisy interest |
 Here's a look at its eye, and you can even see the heat-sensing pit |
 Its rattle was quite small, and even after harassment the snake did not shake its tail |
 Another look at the rattles |
