Slender Sunbather
While hiking a nature trail on the east end of Baird Creek in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I spotted this fellow sunning itself on the side of a small hill in the forest. The area was mostly shaded by the trees, but it found one area of sunlight. I’m not snake expert, but I believe this is a common gartersnake. It may have been two to three feet long. As I got closer with my camera, it quickly slithered away.
