Occurrence Remarks: Poor thing had a terrible injury (see second and third photo). Hopefully it can survive.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 417.00000.

Occurrence Remarks: Caught her mid-yawn! Duplicate observation of: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/338805515 Thanks to @northcut1 for pointing out this watersnake. He had originally spotted a pair in the area. After waiting a few minutes, another individual - presumably a male - reappeared and began exhibiting courtship behavior (i.e. chin rubbing), despite it being a bit early in the season for mating activity. Notably, this individual only had one eye. The separate observation of the presumed male shows this more clearly: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/338842110; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 2.00000.
