This is one of my favorite snakes.
I’ve been finding these for years up in Wisconsin, and am blessed to be able to enjoy them down in Arkansas too! This post will be a little longer photo-wise, so I’ll keep the text short.
Enjoy the close-ups of the head, and also the scales. I think this is one beautiful snake!

Occasionally we see some water snakes on the lake we live on In Michigan. It may be those. We have snapping turtles and eagles that probably keep them in check.

I would guess that you are correct. They were the most common kind in Wisconsin.

Dude I am no snake expert but when they are coiled up like that, doesn't it mean they aren't too happy with whatever is right in front of them? You're a brave man.

If you look at the "S" shape of the neck in this photo, you can estimate the strike range by imagining it straightened out. If It was also lifting its head and making more curves, it would signify that it was even more prepared to defend itself.... bravery can often be confused for foolishness, so I'm glad that you could tell the difference!

Now adding math into the mix. Mind blown. That could be a cool game show. Do a math problem while a snake may or may not be getting ready to bite your face.
