  • JANUARY 2013 — MARCH 2013 No 1301
    JANUARY 2013 — MARCH 2013 No 1301 THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE AND TIMBER RATTLESNAKES Program By William S. Brown, Associate Professor Emeritus of Biology, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY Lecturer, Department of Biological Sciences, University at Albany (SUNY), Albany, NY Wednesday, January 16 at Crandall Library at 7pm. In New York, Timber Rattlesnakes are distributed among scattered overwintering dens in over 20 counties. Many populations were extirpated or depleted throughout the state over the past two centuries. The species was listed as "threatened" in 1983 and has been fully protected under New York State law for the past 25 years. In the northeastern sector of the state, rattlesnake dens represent ancestral populations which have been in continuous existence for approxi- mately 7,000 years following climatic warming and withdrawal of the most recent glacial ice sheet. Once colonized, each den enhances winter survival and maintains a stable population. Timber Rattlesnakes hibernate through the winter, October through April (7 months). After emerging, the active season lasts from May through September (5 months). Each spring, the snakes make long‑distance (1 to 3-mile) migra- tions between their winter dens and their summer foraging grounds. In its deciduous forest habitat, the Timber Rattle- snake is an important predator of small mammals and thus plays an important role in the natural food web. Over the past three decades, the speaker’s field study has revealed new information on the Timber Rattlesnake's life history. It is a long-lived species; recent recaptures in 2012 of snakes initially marked as adults over 30 years ago show that the maximum confirmed lifespan exceeds 40 years.
