I recently spotted the first copperhead I’ve seen in the wild in a couple decades, and I spend a lot more time in the woods than most. It was less than 100 feet from “Copperhead Falls” (the only named geographic feature I’m aware of with the name copperhead in it). I was tickled.
Related: There’s a Rattlesnake Creek" in Richmond, VA. At the spot where it crosses the most prominent road along its short path is a sign that identifies the creek by name and parenthetically below the name adds, “No Rattlesnakes”. Every time I see the sign I wonder if that’s a guarantee that somebody ran by the city’s legal department.
