Oops -

that second one, again:


"Well worth it if you ask me, eh, Bro? In Tennessee, wildlife rehabilitators must cover all the expenses of caring for animals themselves. Marybeth Rood, for example, just shelled out more than $700 for rabies, Parvo and distemper vaccinations for these two bandits."

@Rockhead,
I used the google image search tool where you drag the image into the search box and found out what it is:

@hingehead,
Thanks for that info; I've often wondered if there was a way to find out about pictures of buildings and places.

@hingehead,
Strange their description didn't comment on the body shape. The critter looks like a thick ribbon. I can't recall ever having seen a snake body like that.

A Clear And Present Danger: How Glass Kills Birds
Quote:
DeGroote collects a gray catbird caught in one of the nets. The 39-foot-by-8-foot nets are designed to safely capture birds.

@tsarstepan,
When we were in Jerusalem, we visited a bird sanctuary where they used nets to catch birds like the one in your picture. They tag birds, and provides birds a place to eat and drink water on their trek between Europe and Africa. It's a fascinating place, and I'll be able to visit again in October while on a cruise on the Aegean Sea.

CI, you're not going to start cheating on the 'Where Am I?' thread are you? Wink

@roger,
Yes, it did Roger. It said that the snake expands its body and reveals dark scales when it feels threatened. It also opens its mouth to make it look bigger.

Thanks everybody for the pics. I'm a little distracted today. Sorry I don't have more to say.

@ossobuco,
This is Mrs Squirrel. In addition to eating hibiscus blossoms she enjoys long walks on the power lines. Not a career rodent, she's interested in starting a litter in the live oaks. For inquiries, please text or email. Cool

@jcboy,
you can make a cool feeder that will help minimize the damage to your plants.

and attract lots of other squirrels as well...
