Northern Water Snakes along the Greensprings Interpretive Trail

Personally, I cannot watch this video, however, I am attempting to capture life along the trail.  Apparently, this is rare footage of snakes mating.  The one larger snake we have seen for some time in this location of the culvert between Jamestown High School and the wetlands along the most travelled portion of the trail.  The two smaller fellows arrived this summer.  Since this was filmed the female has moved on elsewhere and the two guys come and go in this location.  One evening our dog discovered one of them on the edge of the trail away from the culvert.  Currently they are not there, so watch where you step.  I can often be seen running past this area, because I know they are there.  Silly I know, but it works for me.
