When it comes to action photography and getting the "whole story" you are
still the best, Roger.

Subject: [bcbirdclub] Ninja Thrasher takes on Rat Snake
Day before yesterday, we watched a life and death drama unfold in our
driveway here on Compton Mt as a Brown Thrasher with young nearby fought
valiantly to drive away a large Rat Snake that had come into the area. The
bird came close to being killed by the snake as it darted in to peck at the
snake's body, then quickly retreat. The snake made several strikes at the
bird, but it was too fast. When the snake decided it had had enough and
tried to leave, the thrasher renewed its attack even more vehemently.
Here are a couple of photos. The whole story can be seen in blow by blow
photos on my web site at <http://www.pbase.com/mayhorn/snake_thrasher>
