On Saturday 4th May we knew that a storm was coming. We stayed local and visited the National Estuarine Research Reserve. It had surge damage from ‘Michael’ but the boardwalks were intact. Birds were around us calling from the trees and not showing. I looked over the sides of the boardwalk. And there one was carefully wrapped up in concentric circles on a bed of pine needles. A Water Moccasin, a snake that swims on the surface of the water, hence its name. Other snakes swim with only the head above the surface. This snake was large, two inch in diameter, at least, and between three to four foot long.
