18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Southern Watersnake

While birdwatching along the gravely trail of Sweetwater Wetlands Park, I stumbled across this lone Southern Watersnake making its way across the trail. I snapped a few head on shots of the snake before continuing on my way.
