Out and alive and basking on New Year’s Day!
I encouraged the snake to move to the edge of the pavement for safety…oh my!! As it got to the edge of the pavement, something large in my peripheral vision from sunward was coming in…a red tail hawk swooping for the snake and then noticing me. It aborted the attack and landed on a branch nearby. I was going to pick the snake up and move it to a thicket nearby, but it squirmed into the grass and hid itself well enough. Now, a waiting game. Who would leave first, the hawk or me. 15 minutes later, the hawk gave up. Hopefully the snake slithered off to his hibernaculum safely. 😊
