At Prophetstown State Park, trail 2, March 22, 2014. I was checking this trail to see if the Camassia scilloides had sprouted yet. Although this plant grows extensively along this trail, I only found one patch that had sprouts poking out of the ground. I knelt down to take a photograph, then noticed this garter snake right next to my knee. It didn't seem to be bothered by my presence a bit and remained completely motionless except for sticking out its tongue a couple times. Maybe it just came out of hibernation and it was being slow.
