Out birding (Masticophis flagellum)

Uh oh! I think that may be what this snake was doing too. Sorry, but I don't know the ID.

Update: Thanks to Stanley, we now know this is a Western Coachwhip. Thanks, Stanley!

A bit of a scary moment (for both of you perhaps;)) Ann. But at least, thanks to Stanley's ID, it's not a venomous one.

You've a super picture of him lassie - well done girl.
