Date taken: April 2004
Location:
Maryland, USA
Equipment used:
Minolta 400si 35mm with a 75-300mm lens.
Comments:
A rare sight and an amazing demonstration of the natural fight for survival, this image was captured as a large black rat snake (Elaphe o. obsoleta) raided a goose nest at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge in Maryland. These snakes will also eat rodents, birds, and amphibians that they encounter on the refuge.
