Huge numbers of snakes yesterday.
Went out to Wilson wildlife area in west central Oregon yesterday and we didn't do to bad. We didn't have a lot of time so sorry for the in hand shots. The weather was weird in the mid sixties with mixed rain and sun but the snakes were still active in force.
One Rock, 15 ringnecks
One tin, 2 Gophers
2 rocks, 3 gophers and a handfull of northwest garters.
A good looking red spotted, I love the cherry heads of this locality
A very blue Racer
A nice looking young Gopher....
Who will probably end up looking like this...
Totals for the hours of 6pm to 9pm
10-15 Pituophis cantinefer cantinifer
20-25 Diadophis punctatus occidentalis
1 Coluber constrictor mormon
5 Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus
15-20 Thamnophis ordinoides
Not to bad for 3 hours of work.
Thanks for looking,
Nate

Re: Huge numbers of snakes yesterday.
Nice finds! As always, I especially like the gophers.
You have some serious finding skills. Do you plant your own cover?

Re: Huge numbers of snakes yesterday.
Man, and I was stoked to ketch one ring neck!
I'm curious to know where you went to find all those snakes! Good work!

It's a little outside Corvalis. I'd prefer not to say much more than that.

This cover was placed by someone else a long time ago (1970's) most of the time I don't like AC but it does help finding snakes...even though the big groups we found were under rocks.
Thanks all,
Nate

Re: Huge numbers of snakes yesterday.
Nice catch Hairless, there were wasps under the rock as well.
BW anytime. I was going to go to the southeast but now I think I'm just going south...Arizona...maybe?

I, for one, am livid that I had to wake up this morning to see you in the pics with those snakes. Like anyone wants to stare at that ugly mug bright and early.   You are adorable! I'm loving all of the pictures.
If I found that many snakes in one outing I would absolutely lose it. I'm lucky to find one or two animals in the places I herp. What amazing finds. 
Oh and Hairless, good eye. I can't believe you spotted that!!!
