Visit from DEC

Dick Thomas came down for a hike and he was able to get some great photographs. We released two nuisance snakes and Bob Corneau processed them for weight and size. It was a great learning exercise.

We hosted a visit of summer interns from an environmental school in New York City. We showed them a few rattlesnakes and they were able to watch us release a nuisance snake which we had picked up the day before. They had never seen rattlesnakes before and were excited about seeing some up close in the wild. It was also fun for them to watch us handle the snake as we released it. On the hike back they helped clear some trails.

Summer Activities

The timber rattlesnakes are enjoying the cooler temperatures we've been having. The males do not seem to be traveling so far for food with the high numbers of chipmunks. That means fewer nuisance snake calls for us and fewer encounters with people and snakes. That's always a good thing!
