Field Notes

Description:

I spotted this Copperhead with a Cottonmouth on the Cumberland Trail in Ashland City Tn. I've never seen those 2 species of snakes together before. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get photos of the 2 together. The Copperhead didn't think highly of my flash as everytime the flash fired, The snake struck at it.
