As an addendum to my earlier post on birds at Doodletown, I'd like to share other things seen.
We saw 2 BLACK SNAKES, 1 GARTER SNAKE and a very large (4.5 to 5-ft) TIMBER RATTLESNAKE. The snake photos--not the snake--were carefully examined and eleven (11) rattles were counted. This was some big, really old snake that fortunately was quite docile and slowly moved off the trail into the leaves. Needless to say, we didn't follow.
