Notes
Observed while walking my dog during the evening. I only had an iPhone on me, thus the blurry pic. It fled into a flooded area in a field near some houses. I returned later but was unable to find the snake again. I was, however, able to confirm the species during the encounter as I had a flashlight on my phone. This snake likely came from one of the nearby ponds.
