A little snake takes a peak at us



We know there are critters in the prairie restoration team's stacks of pots at Sheldon Lake State Park. Ants, frogs, spiders, snakes.

I usually give the stack a little kick before I grab some empties.

A couple of weeks ago our noise persuaded a big brownish snake to leave the pots stack and head toward the brush. Some thought it was a water moccasin, but we didn't get close enough to confirm.

Today we got the attention of little Ribbonsnake. We didn't seem to scare it. The snake just watched us.

The snake let me get close enough to take this pic with my iPhone.

And then it waited for us to leave.
