I was watching my feeders one morning when a female cardinal started screaming and thrashing wildly.she all of a sudden disappeared into the feeder.l ran over to discover an oak snake got into the feeder and sucked her into it! Separated the two unharmed and sent them on their way a great distance apart!
Woah. Was that a rat snake or a viper? If the viper, I would have separated myself a great distance apart too.
