First of the season - Loveland, CO

Post by Dachindae »

Found my first live snake of the season, usually I collect roadkill ones but I was very happy to find this rattler curled up under a board! and of course, I didn't have my good camera on me.

Sad, but found this female hit by a car a few days ago. Thought she was dead because her back end was completely ruined and burst open and when I touched her with the hook, she moved. I quickly ended her suffering right after I took this photo. I really hate finding so many females being hit by cars, this is the second female I've found this week. [first was already dead]

Went out a few days earlier and found a couple of lizards.

awesome finds. Tragic that so many animals get destroyed on our road ways, but our ability to travel greatly increases our chances of seeing animals too.
