Wildlife
In the stream you may encounter a Northern Banded Water Snake. They are a common water snake in this area. They eat fish. They can be somewhat aggressive, so it is best not to try to pick them up, but they are not poisonous. Seeing them in the park is actually a really good thing! It means our stream is a healthy ecosystem. This is not a Copperhead. Copperheads have a very distinct triangular head. Thanks to Elena Lomicky for her expert identification.
