I’m glad “Grey” did not eat all three of the baby birds – would’ve been a little greedy of him lol. Your pictures are awesome too. I try to follow local blogs in our current hometown, so I was looking for new ones in the North Florida area and stumbled upon yours. Your blog looks like one that my son would like to read, so I will pass it on. Thanks for all of the great wildlife posts, the pictures really are cool.<br /><br /><br />Anna Webbhttp://www.allmysons.com/jacksonvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-56164751963972219922015-04-22T10:36:09.910-05:002015-04-22T10:36:09.910-05:00Another great rescue adventure!

Good show!<br /><br />My experience with banty hens (involves an ankle scar) tells me there may be a rat snake carcass in the future.<br /><br />If we knew each other better, I'd be tempted to refer to the most excellent selfie and inquire about which one was the snake, but since you're not familiar with my wonderful sense of humor, I'll refrain.Wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510146743939456289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-42697709677649142922015-04-16T16:03:46.415-05:002015-04-16T16:03:46.415-05:00Great selfie!

They fledge as early as Day 9, able only to flutter and clamber about, but that sure beats huddling down in the nest, waiting to be eaten by a rat snake! Hang in there, little cardinals! And cardinal parents, go get Mr. Powers if that snake comes back!<br />Julie Zickefoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-43116441293281078642015-04-14T17:18:45.479-05:002015-04-14T17:18:45.479-05:00Wonderful save of that little cardinal chick, FC. ...Wonderful save of that little cardinal chick, FC.

Also, I know the rats name is not venomous, but will it bite you while you're messing with it? Does it hurt?

I remember trying to get a black rat snake out of a Carolina wren nest it was busy cleaning out. I'd no sooner toss it to the side and put a chick back in the mangled nest than that snake would be right back up the drainspot! Don't get between a rat snake and its dinner! Extremely well-photographed, and a nice save. Here's hoping his homing abilities are poor.Julie Zickefoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.com
