Isla Santa Catalina, Lindblad Expedition

I thought at first this was the same Florida Pine Snake I just relocated two days ago two miles away, but close inspection of the head and tail markings reveal it's not the same snake.

Found on a freshly burned sandhill after a brief rain. 4 1/2ft in length approximately.
Very obscured location due to this species being protected.
Ask the biologists if you need a location.

Not certain of ID.

lifer! stoked!

Found hanging out by a workshop

Also known as the Merriam's ground squirrel (Urocitellus canus). This species was split from Townsend's.

Previously thought to be extinct. Much of the older research on this fish and lake needs to be updated

Stuck around for a while

Right on the border of kansas and colorado, may have been in both states at the same time.

OSU banding project. Handled with proper federal permits and by trained professionals.

Under a tiny piece of bark next to a large piece of tin, weird.
