Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Gene what is it?

Nerodia.....something or other. (formerly Natrix spp.);)

In Missouri I would say Nerodia sipedon and 99% of the time it would be correct, but this ain't Missouri and there are a few other species in this region.  It also doesn't help that their pattern and coloration can vary within the species.  

In any case it's a harmless watersnake doing its thing.  Beth and I startled 6-7 of them a couple of weekends ago in the canoe.
