Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)Observer
gtsalmonDescription
Subadult female DOR on FM 1376. Recent bird meal (appears to be a Northern Cardinal, common in area). Rattle removed, head and neck appears more damaged than expected.
See second image for detail of the bird remains.
Diamondbacks are uncommon in this area. This is the first one I have seen in 10 years in this immediate area. I live one mile away. A neighbor on Walnut Grove Road showed me a picture of one at #38 Walnut Grove from about 20 years ago.
