Fall Herping

Despite the drought and heat this year, I have managed to see some incredible herps and habitat this season....


Blue River in Southern Indiana, a bit lower than usual


This Racer was out on a cloudy warm day


I think this is a juvie Green Frog


Longtail Sally


This Racer was found in the Ohio River bottoms


Copperhead


I found this Black King on a back road one afternoon


a better view


While checking an area of Blue River, I found new residents...


River Otter


Northern Copperhead

I also joined a few folks from all over in Southern Illinois recently....
