Gary Antosh snapped this photo last Friday in the early afternoon at his home west of La Grange of a copperhead balancing on the top wire of his fence, about four feet off the ground. “I’ve seen a lot of copperheads in my day, but I’ve never seen one straddle a barbwire line like that,” Antosh said. He added that it’s been a busy year so far for copperheads on his property. He’s seen six.
