Snake, Campobello, April 30

Found this nice little gartersnake sunning on the trail. Also 8 green winged teal at Lower Duckpond, Campobello. Yellow rumped warblers here now, also . Joyce

Tim and I, with Casper and Trooper, took a long overdue trek up Simpson Hill today. We were happy to see that a number of people had been hiking over the last couple of weeks. On the way up Valley Trail, Casper HAD to avail himself of Mamie's Pool. A short distance further on, we "stumbled upon" a garter snake dozing in the sun... then another one slithered into view and gave us a once-over before retreating under an old mossy branch.

Enjoy the warmth!

Marg and I played traffic cop for this medium sized snapping turtle crossing the Kerr's Ridge Road today, June 28, 2009.

Evenually, it disappeared into the roadside vegetation.
