Snakes found during cleanup day identified!

We found 8 snakes under the rocks and pilings on the lot during cleanup day. Many folks including myself believed the species of the snakes to be garter snakes. However, after a bit of investigation and some help from users of www.quora.com the snakes have been identified as Northern Brown Snakes:
