redbelly snake (Storeria occipitomaculata) at Cardinal Marsh IA 854A5833

Redbelly snakes are rushing to their hibernaculums today and I found half-a-dozen here at Cardinal Marsh this evening. They will be crawling down into old abandoned field ant mounds tonight and may not emerge again until spring unless we get another warm spell. Freezing temperatures are predicted for tomorrow night.
