Thanks to Ben for sending from Bloomingdale: “SNAKE in alley next to Crispus Attucks Park!”

We’ve seen lots of Black snakes (which are good – eat rats/mice etc.) but anyone know what type this is?

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
