Notes
3 C. atrox were found around an intermittent collection of water in the NE corner of the lot closest to the Interstate. After we left we noticed that several birds in the sandpiper/plover family returned to the area. Would it be reasonable to assume that the snakes were waiting to ambush the birds?
