Wildlife: Water snakes feeding on fish, 1 by tigerlily

The creek is drying up, and there were still several fingerlings in the remaining pools after a fish rescue was done. In the past, I've rescued those left behind, but I'm not able any longer. I knew the fish would become meals for other critters as the water diminished. Today I watched as 5-6 water snakes worked one small pool. They were persistant and successful, but always left the water before they began feeding.

In this image there are two snakes, each holding the same fish in their mouth.
