Biking and Slithering
Low humidity and a temperature in the 60s made it a perfect morning to be out, be you snake or bicyclist. This guy crossed the bike path in front of me. Look closely and you will see a copperhead snake, Agkistrodon contortrix. Very good camaflauge, I have know a few people bitten by them over the years, it is pretty easy to come in very close proximity with a creature blending so well with their environment. If you didn't spot him yet, look straight above and slightly to the right from the green clump of grass, about 2 -3 inches of body from under the leaves and grass with the head sharply to the left. And, watch your step!
