They would be left in baggies on my dock and in my mailbox.

They were not shy at all, came right up to me to check out my camera. Since they are so tall and noisy, they can be quite intimidating. Love your owl picture! I try to stay away from snakes, since I can't tell the difference between the poisonous and non-poisonous kinds.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576200516116402874.post-5600395984923047532012-05-21T20:44:13.574-04:002012-05-21T20:44:13.574-04:00So if one were to take the Red Rat Snake from this...So if one were to take the Red Rat Snake from this post and <br />drop in the last 'breeding like rats' post would <br />that mean the Commies won?

We put seeds out and everybody gathers 'round. Everyone seems to get along peacefully enough while they're eating. I haven't seen any predatory activity on our deck, but undoubtedly there are lots of half-eaten rat carcasses in the woods beyond our deck.<br /><br />I can think of only one predatory incident that I've witnessed: A few years ago I walked out there just in time to see a hawk swoop down to the deck, grab a sparrow firmly in its talons and fly off with it.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.com
