Greene, H. 1989 July 7 (continued) although the snake maintained a striking coil and was orienting to me as I lowered it into the can. ~2/40h Dave spotted a large adult Leptophis ahactulla asleep ~3m above the water in a small tree, perhaps 4-6 m from the boardwalk. The snake was in a loose coil, head oriented into the tree. Soon thereafter, near the eastern boundary of the swamp, we found a very large adult leptodeira septentrionalis actively hunting frogs. The snake was ~4m above the water in a slender, sparsely vegetated tree or bush. It was descending a branch, almost vertical and not much larger in diameter than the snake. The movements were slow, the head kept close to the branch surface, and there were numerous short lateral movements. At one point it appeared to be pressing or poking at a patch of moss. At first I could see only the ventral side of this snake and thought it was Ineophis inornatus - but then realized the body was a little too heavy and the belly more yellow or even slightly rose, and eventually got a good look through binoculars at the head and dorsal pattern. Frogs seen include Hyla graciosa and 2 Agalychnis saltator, and others were calling. When I checked again at 22:20h the leptodeira was still searching slowly, but ascending and ~1-1.5m higher in the tree.
