Hanging out in a pitcher plant
My lifer! For real this time! A barred owl was sitting in the middle of the road, and when it flew away, we saw this snake sitting there. Didn't look like it was attacked by the Owl. It was very calm and never bit me. I helped it cross the road into the swamp on the other side. Snake was about a foot long. Awesome to see one that isn't being eaten by a heron!
Got knocked hard (we saw the car in front of us glance him) on the roadway... brought him home to make sure he's okay with wildlife rehabber... will release tommorow.
Some photos from before and after he got scared, jumped into the water, and started making a little face at me
