Bobby Boyd went for a walk along the Neponset River Greenway in Mattapan and Milton the other day. Among the things he saw was a snake resting in a tight space on the Milton end of the Harvest River Bridge, a goose of the non-Canada variety near that and a pair of deer on an islet in the river between Central Avenue and Capen Street.

Thamnophis sirtalis, the eastern garter snake. It's recently been discovered that this harmless snake actually has a mild venom that it uses to subdue its prey.
It's something Virginia and Massachusetts have in common

Both commonwealths use the Eastern Garter Snake as the official reptile.
I watched one eat a juicy worm in the Middlesex Fells over the weekend.
Lots of deer this year

Anecdata, but I'm seeing a lot more deer than I'm used to seeing at this time of year, especially in broad daylight. Drive safe, folks.
Adorable!

My city's Facebook site received its annual posting by a gobsmacked resident with a pic of a bodacious milksnake, asking if somebody lost their pet snake.
They were informed, as usual, that Milksnake is a fren who eats rats and mice and brings all the boys to the yard.
First week of June, milksnake pics soon.
