Eastern Garter Snakes
Thamnophis sirtalis
As I stood next to the hiking trail at the lake I heard a rustling noise on the ground over on the hillside. At first I thought it was a sparrow scratching around but then two Garter Snakes became visible, a male following a larger female. It was an unusually warm day and I suspect they came out of a den on the side of the hill.
