Yon snake appears to be a copperhead ...

 

[robklurfield]

curious about that, Paul. the website below says these fellows don't come to NJ. I'm no herpetologist, so I'll defer to your expert judgment on this one.

"A Broken Man"

This damaged statuary was about 200 feet from the dead deer / bicyclist combo above. Both shot while on a bike ride myself. The guy passing the deer was probably wondering why I chose to stop there. Now he knows.

I think you're right, Rob. Rat snake of some kind is my second guess.
Speaking of snakes, can you say, "So close, yet so far?"

Paul, as I said, I'm no herpetologist, but your snake (apologies to Monty Python) appears to be quite dead. Probably died hungry judging from your timing.

I have to admit that my wife suggested I move the flattened snake closer to the dune mouse. They were about 5 feet apart when we saw them, flat as flitters ...

I don't touch dead stuff, including discarded gloves that I find on the road. I shot it as I find it. In this instance, the glove and the bird happened to be in the same spot.
