labeled Northern Black Racer, C. c. constrictor

The image at left is not a Black racer, Coluber constrictor constrictor, but a Black Ratsnake, Elaphe obsoleta (at least, under the traditional taxonomy). See the notes I left at Commons:Image talk:Coluber constrictor Schwarznatter fg01.jpg. I have not heard from the photographer. I am quite sure on the ID, you can see other images of Coluber constrictor constrictor in this article and can see the difference--the two appear quite similar at first glance.
