Fox Snake And European Starling Chick
As much as I hate to see this in action, I do think the fox snake is a beautiful native snake. Many people mistake them for a copperhead, or a rattlesnake (they may rattle their tails if alarmed), but they are harmless to people. In fact, they eat far more rodents than birds.
At least it is a European Starling and not a Purple Martin!
Poor starling. We like starlings. They are very colorful.
I agree. Also is a very big snake.
