Re: In the field
scary
I once came upon a rattler when taking a moonlight walk along a small airstrip in the Mojave near Joshua tree.
I was walking past something that looked like a small rounded rock, maybe a foot in diameter and half that high. Suddenly the rock rattled. It felt like it was rattling my spine, actually. I just kept walking . . .
When I was a little kid - six or so - I was with my dad and we came upon a vipera berusin a pile of leaf litter under the filbert trees. I remember it being pretty and my dad telling me to leave it alone. I only saw it that one time.
Last summer I saw a large garter in a loose rock wall, at a friends house about an hour north from here. She just moved there last spring and said that there's lots of snakes there in spring and early summer. I'm hoping to check that out this year
