A beautifully patterned massasauga rattlesnake warms its body in the morning sun May 10, 2018 at the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center in Grayling, Michigan. Members of the Michigan National Guard Environmental Division, National Guard Bureau Installations and Environment Directorate, Michigan Department of Natural Resources and volunteers from local, state and national conservation groups combed many acres of Camp Grayling May 7-11, 2018 during the installation’s first large-scale massasauga population estimate project. The massasauga is the only venomous snake native to Michigan. It is one of the smallest of the rattlesnake species, and it was listed as a threatened species in 2016 under the Endangered Species Act.
