Snake and his lunch

I was in my metal building and heard a racket up near the roof I looked out the door up in the eaves I saw this snake and his prey. The shed has a double roof so birds sometimes net in there and snakes go after them, I have heard them squabbling before but this was the first time I had seen them, no telling how they got this contorted but it ended badly for the bird I'm sure. I use this picture as my avatar on this forum.

Okay, one more . . . I won first place in the county fair photo contest with this one a couple of years back.

A couple more pix. The dolphin from a boat trip in Fl this spring, and the cat and owl both were from locations that helped rescue animals.

We hit the big cat rescue this weekend for another visit so thought I'd plop a couple more kittie pix here. Those cats are just beautiful to sit and watch. Though sad to read their stories on how they ended up in a WI location to be cared for....
I am still working on getting good images when zooming thru fencing but at least some pix turned out ok.

I was lucky enough to video a family of Kit Foxes a few years back. It's Mom, Dad, and 4 pups. They usually only have 2-3 max, so 4 was a treat. We approached them slowly over a couple of days on our ATV and I was finally able to get within 50 of their den. A once in a lifetime event.

I went to Mt. Rainier Natl. Park last week, and while the weather was not conducive to good mountain photos, I did get a shot of a Stellar jay. The lights from the vehicle next to me reflecting on my windshield lit up his hind end, something I didn't notice until I got home and saw it on my PC. It looks like I feel after a good burrito!
