Carrizo Plain
Very far away and snake slithered into the bush the minute it saw me. Squirrel in the background was giving alarm calls
A smallish snake, temporarily in the bottom of a 30 gallon trash can.
My first snake of the season! And one that I don’t see very often, so super excited!

IMG_20240429_095019568 very cute little snake. Head the size of the last joint of my pinkie. It did not move for a while after we saw it, but it did eventually retreat into the grass.
