Finally got a cottonmouth in my home county this year- did nearly step on it, but thankfully I didn't! It was closer than the snake or I would've like it to be.

A large amount of hawk movement before and during the eclipse on the shore of lake Ontario today. I counted 54 individuals in 3 hours and I am not a great hawk-counter.
