Some more random 2010 stuff . . .

I've somehow taken FAR less pictures this year than usual, but have very little concept of what's already been posted and what hasn't - sorry if any of these are repeats.

Redbelly from the pines

Killdeer and nest

Carpenter

Leopard

Northern Gray

and by popular demand . . .

They are worthy of any field guide, I wish I could do as well.

What's that, a Corn Snake Bob? Looks like it was cut from a Navajo blanket. Beautiful.

It's a scarlet king snake isn't it? At first I was thinking coral since I know you spent some time in Florida. Looks kind of like a milk snake also. Where did you photograph this, nj?

Thanks, guys!

Jeff is right on the money - its a scarlet snake. Found in the pines . . . they're around, just super hard to come by. I've seen them in FL too, but posting them here would be cheating.

Wow, I was looking at those online and the colors are all over the place. While surfing I found this interesting info regarding the coral snake:

"Red on yellow, kill a fellow, Red on black, freind of Jack". I'd never remember that if I came across one.

nice coastal! .......hey couldn't you have at least brushed the sand off that virgatipes' nose before hassling him for a pic?

would you believe i still have never taken the time to get a pic of one of those?
like the gray tree frog shot too.
