Spring is mating season for snakes so you see more of them out and about. This was a scene I saw on the lower spillway steps at White Rock lake. Snowy egrets will eat snakes so I watched to see what would happen.

I guess the egret was not hungry or thought the snake was too big to be worth the trouble. They passed by peacefully.
