We watched this snake slither down this tree. What was equally interesting was watching four nearby birds - a pair of Gray Catbird, a Black-throated Blue Warbler, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker - as they, too, watched this spectacle. The Gray Catbirds were raising their wings, vocalizing, and clearly trying to chase this perceived nest robber out of the area. A great moment!
