This snake was observed slowly crossing a small road with no sidewalk. I saw a jogger run right by him and not notice and I warned the next jogger so that she wouldn’t step on it.

Thanks Brian! You reminded me to fill in the gaps in this record. I actually saw this copperhead as I was driving to help a couple with a copperhead in their yard. :)
