A New York Snake
ByThis fine little fellow was on the path at the Rogers Center last week, and only grudgingly ceded his place to the lumbering biped with the camera.
He was quite aggressive, as behooves a small and probably tasty prey item during raptor migration.
Anyone out there care to fill me in on this creature’s identity?
He was about 15 inches long and was in a slightly swampy woodland.

Eastern Garters are highly variable and may not always have the stripes along the back, so I’ll venture that as my guess. This Peterson guide I’m referencing doesn’t have the best artwork. I need a better guide. Let me know what you find out.
