two rattlesnakes
|
Hiking by the rock cliffs on the back-80, I heard the distinctive rattle of
a rattlesnake. I stopped dead in my tracks; in the grass about four feet
in front of me, I saw a rattlesnake - perfectly camouflaged and very still.
It was several moments before I noticed a second rattlesnake hanging over
the rock cliff. It may be a den (and we call it rattlesnake rock now) or
they may have been about to mate. I watched them for some time and took a
couple pictures. (Laura)

Once I saw an ermine (all white with a small black patch at the tip of her tail)
bounding across the snow on the back-80. (Laura)
