Thamnophis sirtalis
One of the most common snakes found in NY. Usually greenish or brown with darker blotches on the sides. Most have a yellow or light colored stripe running from neck to tail. Diet consists of mainly invertebrates and amphibians, but they will also eat fish and rodents.
This happens to be the first snake I found this year. (Identified by the scarring on it's back.) I'm glad to see it's still around. I had pulled it out of the road back in April and moved it to a safe place nearby.
