…what you’re going to find in a haystack.

This five-foot gopher snake ‘on the move’ took my breath away yesterday afternoon as I loaded hay from the barn.

With apparent interest, judging by the comments, I’ve added this photograph of the gopher snake poking its head in a Black Phoebe’s nest of mud about ten feet up the vertical stack of hay bales. The nest has been empty for quite awhile. The snake knew just where it was and I suspect the Black Phoebe decided to move to another zip code.
