In this short post I am officially declaring victory in the Man vs. Rat Snake battle. I believe that we both have found happiness in this outcome. As I dropped him, the snake, my nemesis, off at his new location I was secretly thinking, "you're going to like it here dude." I'm sure he has found new eggs and new baby birds to eat - hey, just keeping it real people - and no longer feels the need to ingest our hard won eggs.
Speaking of things eating other things - last week I was walking up to my building at work and red-tailed hawk was tearing apart a freshly-killed squirrel. The hawk was all business. There were plenty of people around but he wasn't budging. A woman stood about 15 feet away snapping pictures of the carnage.
So our hens our laying steady now and we get about 3-4 eggs a day. Ok I said this was going to be a short post.
