Huntsville State Park

yellow bellied water snake

Today we went to the Huntsville State Park. There are several trails, we walked about 4 miles and covered less than a third of them. It was dry there too, every thing is so dry this year. So we didn’t see any alligators or water birds. There were lots of ravens and the usual woodland birds.

We weren’t sure about the snake till we got home and id’d him. The yellow bellied water snakes flatten their heads and coil and make like a water moccasin when they get scared. Had I known he was faking I would’ve got some better shots. The round eyes are the give away.

If you like biking through the woods ( 10 speeds ) then this is a great park. There were mountain bikers on most of the trails and they are clearly welcome there.
