Prowler at the bird feeder again...

[Rich Z]

Connie found this gray rat snake sitting on a branch near the bird feeders, obviously waiting for an unwary bird to get too close. So of course I had to snatch him up and we relocated him out to the national forest. Didn't try to bite but squirmed a bit. I rarely see the gray rat snakes around here try to bite when they are handled. And even then, it's only because they think a bird actually did get too close.....



And took a little video as well using the Panasonic FMZ-1000. Didn't take at 4K, though, and not sure why, but I'm sure it was my fault.
