    First Intentional Herp-Outing of the Year: Success

    On Monday I woke up to one half of my pillow being extremely warm due to the sunlight shining through my window. After 5 snake-less(wild) months, I knew this weather would be a reason to go to the Provincial Park down the road. Between 1 and 1:30 pm, I found 3 pickeringii and 2 ordinoides all within 50 meters of each other. The first of the year for me. One female pickeringii, and all other snakes were males. Ive got pics, they just need to convert files and transfer from my phone to my computer, comin up soon

    The conversions were a failure. Its a good thing I observe every snake I find for at least a week. Im taking more pictures with my laptop now

    ahahaha. Id be trolling my self too :P Here they are, after a long day of charging camera batteries . . .
    Sorry about the blur, 'twas very windy, and despite the numerous different, full, batteries tried, the camera would only work for about 15 seconds. Getting a nice shot was very hard.P1050374.jpgP1050375.jpgP1050377.jpg This is one of the ordies. The other one escaped into my yard as a widow-maker nearly took my head due to the wind.

    Let the season begin. Unless you're in Iowa where it's 23°F/-5C this morning.

    We might have another big snow storm on Sat/Sun.

    Very nice. I've been out doing photography a few times this month, but we only had 2 or 3 warm days and I didn't see any reptiles. We're supposed to get more snow this weekend and the extended forecast says we won't crack 60 through the rest of the month. But it's Denver so you never know.
