Indigo Snake and Frogs at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge

These frogs were all knotted together sitting on the side of a small water tank.




Below the water tank we saw the Indigo snake getting closer and closer. His tail started to twitch just like a Rattlesnake. Obviously there was something behind the tank we couldn't see.



Suddenly a frog jumped 5 ft into the air and so did the snake catching it mid-air. When it landed the frog got away but then jumped a second time and was caught mid-air a second time. The snake carried it off to the brush area but still within our view. He seemed to enjoy his lunch and we enjoyed to photographing the wild nature moment.



Oh, I forgot to mention there was an alligator sitting in the water tank the whole time.
