eastern garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) at Cardinal Marsh IA 854A5441

            Even though it was only 42 F when I stopped by Cardinal Marsh this morning, I found an eastern garter snake sunning in the grass. I got down on my belly and inched up close for a photo, and as I was taking a few photos, another garter snake suddenly popped up behind it. I looked around and there was a third garter snake that was laying right beside my elbow that was propped up on the ground. I guess I crawled right up on their hibernaculum as they were emerging😲.
