I went birding yesterday at Citadel Bluff Park which is north of Cecil, AR on the south side of the Arkansas River. I saw a very large snake that initially I thought was a Cottonmouth, but I posted a photo of it on INaturalist and a couple people identified it as a Diamondback Water Snake. Later during my birding walk out there I almost did step on a Cottonmouth and saw another one after that along the path. Then I saw an old snag with some honey comb and bees buzzing around it. I wonder if the honey is any good? No way I would dare to try to get it though for fear of getting stung, falling and breaking my neck or stepping on a Cottonmouth in trying to access that tree. Those bees are safe from me 🙂.
