The only thing missing was the grandchildren.\u00a0 Met some folks from New England Herpetological\u00a0 Society, hope I got it right. They were handling a few water snakes. Very well informed on a subject that I just happened to be quiet fond of myself. Remember the quote by Professor Barnhardt to Mr. Carpenter in The Day The Earth Stood Still\u00a0 &#8221; It isn&#8217;t faith that makes good science, Mr. Klaatu, it&#8217;s curiosity. Sit down, please. There are several thousand questions I&#8217;d like to ask you. &#8221; That&#8217;s how I felt talking to these men. Below are two water snakes of different size. Further down, Red Wing Black bird, and Goose with young. For more great stuff from Oliver Mill, visit the Categories links on right side of page.
