A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Agkistrodon piscivorus
It can be brown, black, or olive in color. They have bands around them and fading w/ age. Their tip of their tails will be colored and turning to a solid color as the age. Their head is triangular shaped; and their eyes are slanted.
Spotted along the bank of a creek in a nature preserve apparently absorbing sun inn the mid morning as people walked along the boardwalk/bridge going over the creek. The area on both sides of the creek was FL wetlands.

Nice spotting! Can you describe the habitat of YOUR spotting, not a general description. "Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box." http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Thanks!
