We found this black snake headed up a tree along our driveway yesterday morning. There were two Tufted Titmouses dive bombing the snake. As we were moving around taking pics we noticed something in the grass, it was baby Tufted Titmouses (or would it be Titmice?) They couldn't fly yet, only hop. We found five of them and started gathering them up and putting them in one spot at the base of a tree away from the snake. While we did this the Mama and Papa started dive bombing us, hubby and I both got hit in the head!
The snake had gone up into the tree, but ended up coming back down, its amazing to see how they can hold onto a bare tree trunk. He was at least five feet long, probably closer to six. In the end, hubby caught him and relocated him further down the driveway in a hollow tree. Can you see him peeking out?
Don'tcha just love summer days like this? When a morning of mowing grass can turn into an adventure. Guess I have Spring fever.
