Nerodia sipedon sipedon
This was a good sized snake -- the second biggest I've seen up at Parolin's Pond. Just not quite big enough to take a full grown bullfrog! The water snake population seems to have dramatically increased in the last year -- I'm hoping it's just part of nature's ebb and flow.
Around an old dilapidated dock on the bank of a boggy lake.
Earlier that day I spotted two snaked on top of the dock copulating -- I think this is the female.
