The little Brown Snake, above, was saved from the hedge trimmer and released.
The Copperhead, below, was also in the thick miscanthus grass, but got cut by the hedge-trimmer before I knew he was even there. Too bad; I like snakes, even the venomous ones.
I set this fellow out where he will be found by our evening fox.

I think what you have there in the first picture is a brown snake, a.k.a. DeKay's snake, Storeria dekayi. I caught a lot of these as a kid in Catonsville, and occasionally see them now in eastern Nebraska.
Thanks Mark! Teddy Moritz called it right too.
