Nice pics. Baby starlings... Hate them. Rats with wings is all they are. In fact, they're worse than rats.

I'm afraid I would just have to snatch those two up by their necks and give them to my python wielding friend.

I find it much easier to set up squirrel boxes or something similar in March. They move in, build a nest and start laying eggs. When they get up to 5 or 6, I take them all. They keep laying, I take, and so on, then I top it off by trapping an adult inside then humanely killing it. I may have only killed one adult bird but with the eggs, that's one nesting pair that won't become 15 breeding birds next year. If you have snakes that will eat them, you can always wait 'till the eggs hatch.

BTW, nice trillium pics above. I've only seen the bottom one and a white version in the woods around my area.

Here is a pic of a garter I found on friday. Very cool looking, looked like some sort of hypoish red.... The picture isn't the best, but the snake was not very cooperative! hehe

Nice find! I find ones like that in western PA!

That's a pretty cool snake. Hey shannon, maybe you should find me a very attractive eastern and send it to me, just so I can say I have one.

Still waiting on someone to get me a very red, very young eastern milk. Looks like the one I was going to get was so dang cool, the person decided he wasn't going to give it up. I've wanted one since I was 10. Somehow, I knew it would be the coolest snake ever, and as it turns out, it is the coolest snake ever! The problem is, it's still not in my collection.

Well everyone, I went and got myself into some credit card debt that I will no doubt barely be able to make the payments on but it was for a good cause. I bought a new camera. No matter what you say, I know that my crappy pictures and video is not because I am a lousy photographer. It's because my camera is a piece of... work.

I bought a Nikon Coolpix S6000 online today. 720p HD video, 14.2 megapixels. Look forward to vastly improved youtube videos and pics from me very soon!

Looking forward to seeing the pics you take with it.

Bread and water? I don't think I need to stoop that low. With the case, 8gb SD card, and AC adapter, I only spent $275. No bread and water. I'll be fine dining on ramen noodles!
