For at least a decade, I have been observing water snakes at a particular spot along the Clark’s Creek Greenway in Charlotte, NC. Over the past couple months, I started to wonder if maybe the snakes had left the area. Late last week, however, I saw this adult water snake in the old familiar spot! The photo is blurry. I only got one chance to take a photo before a dog came along and spooked the snake. I returned about 20 minutes later to see that the snake was still mostly in hiding — but sticking its head out from the rocks.
