“The history of Colusa County is very colorful and interesting. It is like reading a historical novel with several public-minded heroes helping to shape the destiny of the county. Its chief historians have been: Will S. Green, who was the county’s greatest hero; Justus Rogers, an early day newspaper editor at Orland; Charles D. McComish, Colusa lawyer; Mrs. Rebecca T. Lambert, Willows, prominent in the organization of the “Daughters of the American Revolution” and one of the Charter Members of “The Colusi Historical Society.” – County of Colusa

Leesville, California (featured in this Video)
“This village is situated at the head of Bear Valley and is distant in a due west line twenty-five miles from Colusa. A great deal of the land around Leesville is low and kept wet till late in the spring, by seepage from the hills on either side. The low land is well set with fine grass. The soil is of the best, and produces almost anything the farmers in the valley choose to raise.” – County of Colusa

I’m pretty sure it is a gopher snake, given the head shape and no apparent rattle. They evolved to mimic the appearance of diamondback rattle snakes. The first time I found one in my house, it had a blood-pressure raising effect.
Sorry if this has already been said. For some reason I can’t see any comments.
