Notes

Went out with a group from the DNR/NRCS and various other herp lovers to three different spots. Found 12 Timbers (one was in a tree, which is a first for me). The wx was overcast. It was not an ideal herp day, but we had about 12 people so we where bound to come across some. Also found 5 Red Milksnake integrades; 3 Ringnecks. And a 6 1/2ft DOR Bullsnake, which was horrible to see. We probably saw a few more things that I just didn't mark. Had a great time.

I have heard of timbers in trees before, but I have still yet to see it. Cool observation.
