Next time, catch the snake by hand and leave your knife in the  kitchen.

We were watching  humming birds from our porch this morning when my wife 
jumped up and yelled  “snake!”  
Sure enough,  perfectly camouflaged and laid out along a bare Holley branch 
where hummers  like to perch while vying for feeder time, was a juvenile black 
rat  snake. 
I would’ve taken the  snake to the barn but injured it when I knocked it from 
the hummer’s perch  with a rake. 
Noticing the bulge in  the snake’s abdomen, I cut it open to reveal a freshly 
swallowed RT  hummer. 
Also noted: A  beautiful male goldfinch doing his level best to keep a very 
demanding young  cowbird fed….  Disgusting…
