Barn cat on duty on a rainy April 30, 2016 Saturday 2016-05-01 - Russell Springs, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo. Couldn't help but notice this cat's expression while the rainy weather kept it indoors. We assumed it was the noblest of felines, a working barn cat, though that may not be true. For sure, someone is feeding it quite well. But as is a cat's nature, it's apparent that it would prefer a sunny day to make outside patrols easier. -- EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Reptiles of KY: Eastern hognose snake; maybe not 2016-04-30 . Larry Clark writes: "I believe this is a eastern hognose snake, but maybe not . . . I caught one last year that looked similar to this one. After the blowing and hissing it rolled over on its back and played dead. The old timers called them blowing vipers." Best we can tell, after running into and consulting with serpentologist Steve Sanders of Damron's Creek Road, Eunice, Adair County, KY, we believe you've nailed the species. Sanders was at his office in McDonald's in Russell Springs. He took one look at the picture and said "Hognose viper. Don't even have to ask Ryan Beard. That's what it is." For those having trouble finding the snake, it's hanging upside down in the center of the picture. It is kindly long, and on careful inspection, one can see its face.
