A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata
The snake disabled one bird then ate this one.The disabled bird fell out of the cedar tree.My cats stalked it until my husband could figure out what to do.Wild Kingdom happening right here on the coast of NC!
I'm not sure about bird or snake species.I have NO idea if it's exotic.If it is, it surely has escaped from somewhere other than my home.
I take that back. Perhaps a Yellow rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata).
That's a good-sized snake. What is the bird species? Is the snake an exotic?
I suggest you add this spotting to the mission, "Hunters & Animal Food Habits." http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8463... Do you know the identity of the bird(s)?
