Notes

Three snakes seen, but I only saw two. Nathan caught a glance at one that he said was lighter-colored diving quickly, but only got a quick look at it. It could have been a lighter-colored watersnake or an Orange-striped/Western Ribbon snake. Erring on the side of caution, we're only putting the two positive IDs in. Neither were photographed before their escape.
