The best views of a Green Heron I've ever got! They're smaller than I expected.

It stayed by the side of the pond, waiting for fish to pass by. Eventually, the hungry bird got its wish, snatching a tiny fish out of the water and eating it.

i was hiking along the mtn ridge bewteen Orange and Riverside Counties and this snake (+/- 3' long) traveled across the path ahead of me ...it was following the path of another snake ...i don't know which species it is, but it was calm, never rattled or postured up, only flattened itself ..it waited about 1-1/2 minutes to keep travelling after i was out of its periphary.

not sure what species this is ...it was approx 20-22" long, was soaking in sun just before sunset, it became agitated quickly, coiling and rattling, and lots of tongue flickering ...observed it for about 45 secs
