Diamondback, Big Bend National Park

I carry snake tongs when I travel to Big Bend National Park to move snakes from the warm roadways in the mornings so they won't be run over. I came across this diamondback near Panther Junction. He went on the defensive as soon as I exited my truck. I didn't want to pass up the photo op and photographed him with a Canon EOS 5D111 and a Canon 100-400 5.6L lens. I then moved him into the underbrush about 30 feet from the roadway.

清冷的早晨,在Panther Junction附近的公路,我从卡车上下来,看到一只菱斑响尾蛇盘在路中间,受惊的它随即做出防御的姿态;于是我趁机拍了几张照片,然后我用蛇钳把它从温暖的公路上赶到30英尺(9.144米)外的灌木丛中,以免它被路过的车子碾死。
