Not cute and cuddly animal images here, but an interesting natural history story. I heard the distress calls of this female Hooded Oriole and found her fussing around her nest. At first the snake was not visible, but it was pretty obvious something was going on. I went back to the house and got my camera and returned to see the Gopher Snake coming out of the nest with a nearly fledged chick in its mouth. The mother Oriole continued to harass the snake without success and the snake finally released from the palm frond and fell to the ground...slithering away with a nice meal. The big question for me is how did the snake know the nest was there? It certainly would not be found with a random crawl by. It took a ten foot climb up the trunk of the palm and then traversing over to the frond. Smell??? Visually seeing the mother go into the nest? Perhaps both. Wild Ramona
