Departed Alabama for Iowa. In North Alabama I saw what appeared to be a medium-sized cottonmouth trying to cross the interstate and while turning onto an on ramp for the interstate, I saw a young grey rat coiled up on a tree branch on the edge of the road. If the situation had allowed, I would have tried to snag a photo of the rat snake. I also observed one adult bald eagle just before crossing into Tennessee on I-65.
