I photographed this Water Moccasin crossing a gravel road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
It seems like I’m not seeing very many Water Moccasins this summer like I normally do.

How I Got The Photo:
I was driving over the Sally Jones Causeway when I spotted this Water Moccasin. I got out of my pickup and got close enough for this photo while hand-holding my camera.
