    A bit chunky for a Racer, with the 'loaf of bread' cross-section, plus the residual white markings between the scales - I'd have to call that a Black Rat Snake.
    I'm not seeing light colored belly scales except on the chin, agree on the light color between the scales though.

    A few recent pix:

    Snapping turtle crossing our driveway. This one's carapace was about 12" in length. We used to have one around that was much bigger.

    Black Rat Snake (in the new Bohemia River State Park).

    Not a very good picture, but this was two brilliant Indigo Bunting males fighting while a female sat in a branch above and watched. Again, in the new Bohemia River State Park.

    Again, not a good image, but . . . At the end of the MARS 22LR PRS match yesterday at Bridgeville DE we noticed that this newborn fawn had gotten itself underneath a truck, literally 30 feet from the firing line. No doe was seen. We got it out and it went into the bushes.

    I will hopefully be contributing soon. Have a fancy game camera coming today. We have a family of foxes in our woods. Yesterday morning my wife had the dog in the backyard at 6 AM, and Momma fox came out of the woods and started barking at my dog. She came pretty close to the house. Kits must have been just inside the wood line. Can't wait to see what these little guys are up to.

    A little five-lined skink made a visit to my kid's TKD studio tonight.

    Caught this fella today waiting to get on the suet. The Cooper's was from a few weeks back.
    So that is not a Cooper's Hawk...it's a Red Shouldered Hawk. The wing color is how you tell the difference. Adult Cooper's wings stay almost solid in color almost gray like... were as the Red Shouldered wings turn striped kind of like their tails.
