BRFAL Members’ Photos

Thank you all for responding to the call for photos! So much is happening out there with spring in full bloom, please keep them coming.

Catherine E, one of our newest VMN Basic Training students, submitted these pictures of camouflage in action. 

Here is how Catherine describes the encounter:

The first picture is of a common northern water snake eating a silver minnow. We were lucky enough to watch him catch and eat his lunch! While trying to swallow such a big fish, he disturbed an otherwise undetected leopard frog from his camouflaged hiding spot…he startled us all! The frog swam to shore to get away from the snake and allowed us to get pretty close.

Thanks, Catherine, for filling us in on the drama!
