Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen
Found this Copperhead swimming in the Patapsco river
This is a snake of forests, old fields, swamps, dry sandy ridges adjacent to swamps, and agricultural fields adjacent to forests.
You can compare here to images. The color pattern looks much more like a beautiful and harmless Northern Water Snake. http://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/p...
