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…
