Not only did January 1st bring a new year (i.e. 2011), it also brought rain and a slight warm front...and I wasn't the only one watching weather.com. I meet up with a couple close herping buds (Kevin and Ross). It had been raining for quite sometime and the air temp stayed in the range of 58-65F until I departed (~12:30).
Ross and I beat Kevin to the spot and quickly spotted five individuals o
f our target species. Photographed a couple before seeing an additional 2 more upon release.

Kevin cruised this guy en route for the meet up, AOR on a dirt road.
Happy New Years and Happy Herping!
