Tonight Mike Gregory and I conducted a Night time Creek Walk through Big Rocky Run.  The program was intended to give families a chance to explore, with their kids, a local stream and the animals that live there.     

Mike found this eastern snapping turtle lurking in a shallow pool along the stream. Overall we had a great program. Most of the people got into the stream with us.  In fact the majority of the snakes we saw were spotted by our guests but the job of catching them was left to us.

Below: Northern Water Snake we encountered 5 of them on this trip. Seems like I am a magnet for these animals.
