This morning as I was playing my acoustic, I peered out the back window to see a deer standing out back. I took a little video and even went around the house to capture a few seconds of video with the wondow screen being in the shot.
A bit later I was out back talking on the phone when low and belhold I screamed like a school girl. And no, not because my ex wife was calling asking for more money, but but because I almost stepped on an Eastern Diamondback.
Recently I have seen maybe 4 or 5 dead pygmy rattlers on my street and a few live ones also. But the Eastern has been more elusive. Well, I got some good video footage of this Eastern. It was a medium sized specimen and as with the others I've encountered, quite docile. I was able to get fairly close and only once did it make me scream as it made a sudden movement toward me as I tracked it through some shrubs. I'll edit that shriek out when I make a little video. When I played the scream back it sounded like a loud crow. Kinda funny actually.
Anyway, the snakes are moving due to the weather. It's beautiful outside isn't it?
Darn, I wish I'd bought the Best of the Emerald Coast earlier. NOw it will cost $10 dollars more at the door. Don't know about that. Anyway, I should be making a video of this encounter soon. Just wanted to make anyone interested know it's coming.
