My mom used to talk about catching copperheads when she was a little girl in rural New York. Not sure if she was incredibly nuts or incredibly brave -- but she lived until nearly 80, so I guess she was also incredibly good at spotting them!
Copperheads are not aggressive unless provoked. I once unwittingly ate lunch next to one (sharing a log on a trail) and it wasn't bother by me. Your comments about them "winning" just feeds the public misperception that there is a 2-way war going on with the snake world.

If you want to know where all the snakes are, copy and paste this into a word document. Search and replace & with nothing. Or pick your way through it. :)
It took a bit of looking, but I eventually found all four. Amazing how well concealed they are, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should repost it next April 1, changing the FOUR to FIVE...

ReplyDeleteThey won
ReplyDeletethe real question is: what are four c'heads doing at the base of one tree?
ReplyDeleteI-)
For the time it took me, yeah, snakes win. Snakes always win.
ReplyDeleteI came here to say the same thing. The whole time I was looking for the fourth, I was thinking "I've already lost."
ReplyDeleteThese are newborn, showing the yellow tail.

ReplyDeleteBy "winning" I meant they escape predation from humans.
DeleteI grew up with these living nearby. Never had a problem until just now. I'm in deep doo doo.
ReplyDeleteSomebody help me, please. Is the fourth one as visible as the first three? Or is it like, just a head?
ReplyDelete=^/
Bottom right corner, on the leaf.
Deletein that case, i'm dead.
DeleteI-)
No, the one at the bottom right corner is the 3rd one. Where's the 4th?
ReplyDeleteBTW, just spotting one means THEY lose. I'd back off from the tree as fast as my legs could carry me.
