Looking at pics of snakes to be sure my latest snake encounter was actually a Garter... thought I would post these pics... poor little baby birds in there have escaped near death this time.
I got him off with our broom handle and flipped him a hundred feet into our neighbors yard... so I am sure he will be back... I have to sleep sometime, after all.

No, that is not a garter. That is a rat snake.

Re: Just sharing...
I would have guessed gopher/pine/bull snake but it's hard to tell and I don't know the location.
