In 2009, for some reason, I found more black-necked garternskaes, Thamnophis cyrtopsis, than I’ve seen in all years previous combined. Most were in predictable locations, but a few were the last thing I thought I’d find, being several miles from the nearest reliable source of water.

Here are a few.
