Prairie Rattler


On my way home from Saint Margaret's today I saw this prairie rattler along Eagle Butte Road.  


Used to see them all the time in southern Alberta but catching sight of one these days is a special treat.  

Photographed near Wolchester, Alberta on July 29, 2023.

  1. Hopefully he got himself off the road without getting run over!

    1. He slithered off into the ditch (a much safer place to be).

  2. I have yet to see a snake in Alberta. This is the second one I remember you posting.

  3. I have only ever seen one in the wild and I almost crashed my car trying to avoid it.

    1. I frequently hit the binders to avoid wildlife. But be careful Jenn.
