Baby long nosed snakes are officially out in full force. I tried to beat the crowds who were hoping to photograph them by getting to the trailhead at 4am. I had the desert all to myself, but when I got back to the car, there were people on bikes about to hit the trails to look for the new hatchlings. They looked like regular mountain bikers, but I knew why they were there.

I saw 4 baby long nosed snakes and one dead one. I also saw a diamond back, two javelinas, and a scorpion eating a mouse. Unfortunately, the scorpion released the mouse when I got the camera out.
