Northern Watersnake (Nerodia sipedon ssp. sipedon)Observer
nickperf33Description
Extremely odd behavior from a Watersnake and Ribbonsnake... has anyone else observed something similar to this before? Both healthy adults with no visible injuries and both escaped rather quickly under their own power without coaxing.
I originally walked up on this pair around noon but the ribbon snake took off before I could get a picture of the odd behavior so I immediately left and came back about three hours later to find them both in the exact same position. So it’s fair to assume it’s a reoccurring arrangement between the two of them. The minimal research I have done has turned up nothing but I would love to hear from someone more knowledgeable about this sort of thing!

Star Jellies (Genus Nostoc)Observer
ciafreDescription
Abundant on submerged rocks in spring branch (second photo). Squishy. Water is probably calcium-rich (possibly lots of Mg also). Unsure if relevant, but lots of snails were present in the spring branch too.
