Field report for this past weekend
Spent several hours herpin' this weekend. Temperatures in the mid 60's and started by checked out a den site which is normally used by 25-28 blackrat snakes.
However it looks as if the snakes have probably already dispersed for the season. But did manage to find 2 black rat snakes basking about 30 feet up in a tree.
Checked a few vernal pools and a couple ponds and saw many eastern painted turtles, green frogs, spring peepers, American toads and a single adult spotted salamander.
Drove a short distance to check a timber rattler den. Mass emergence for horridus is well under way, counted 42. I was surprised that no copperheads were seen.
On the way back home found this eastern king crossing the road.

Thanks Brian!
Good luck at Ft. Bragg! I've had a rough time gaining access to some of the military bases in my area. I guess it's a sign of the times. One of the northern most locations in the state for the Carpenter Frog (Rana virgatipes) is on military property.

One question, the black rat snakes in the tree... is it just the angle of the picture of is there something wrong with the scales where the snake goes over the small branch?

It looks to me like some sort of injury, but it was so far away I don't know.
