Two questions about my picture:

1. What iis the coal black snake?

2. I got a new D90 and am overwhelmed with settings. How was I supposed to shoot this picture to get the head in focus instead of the body?

I could be wrong but your snake looks a lot like the one below which is a northwestern garter snake. Sometimes all of the stripes might not be visible.

Here's a recent one of mine, a black ratsnake I came across in a tree while searching for this cache: GC1PTX3

Canadians mustn't use the forums very often because who HASN'T seen one of these :) Took a lil' time out from our journey from Bathurst Lakes down the gorgeous Nepisiguit to do a lil' casting. We saw about a dozen in various spots in the lake. We got to canoe right past this guy. We were so darn close I could have reached out and pat him. It's hard to tell from the picture but the span of his rack was approximately six feet wide. Super majestic animal and the experience was almost surreal. For the few who don't know what it is, it's a moose.

 

For some reason I can't upload the picture...grrrrrr...I have it on my desktop. If somebody can tell me how to upload it from my pc as oposed to from a URL it'd be greatly appreciated.

I have had many wildlife encounters during geocache searches. Unfortunately I did not always have my camera with me. But here are a couple shots when I did have my camera:

 

This shot was taken when I was checking on one of my own caches. I looked up and saw this pair of deer watching me from about 50m away.

I nearly stepped on this guy, as he blended into the trail quite well.

The other day we saw this newborn fawn about 30 feet from a cache in a state park. We thought it might have been born earlier that day as it was just about the size of a housecat. It kept perfectly still as we took a few photos. Then we moved to the cache. We noticed that as we were signing the log, the fawn lifted its head to see what we were doing. Curiosity!
