Elaphe obseleta obseleta

So it has been a while again, but this was too good not to post. Today as I was spreading grass seed, minding my own business, I found myself eye to eye with this guy. I don't need my coffee today... Turns out he is a black rat snake, and his mate was also up in the tree. She had just eaten a nest full of young robins. Except for the one who got away...for now.

Would this be the same family of robins you were looking at on Tamsey's blog earlier this month?

Maybe the snakes are reading your blogs?
