Too much fun at work

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? Today, Tim and I went out in the boat to replace one of the lids on the wood duck boxes, and while we were out there, we checked on a few other things. There indeed two Wood Ducks nesting in the boxes. I hope they each have a lot of eggs.

Additionally, we saw several northern water snakes. There is a very common myth that water moccasins live in Ohio, but that is simply not true. Any snake can go in the water, but the northern water snake really likes water-y habitats. They are somewhat variable in color and can be seen with or without their pattern. Here is a pic of one Snapper John caught during his internship here.
