Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas

I spotted the snake swimming along the muddy shore in one of the canals. As I watched, it crawled up onto the muddy bank like it was heading for the foliage, but then turned and crawled back into the water. It was probably close to three-feet long. I was perhaps 20 yards away from it, in my car on the road on the other side of the canal.
