Babies and Adult with Snake and Mockingbird Neighbor
Photos by Greg Clark,
May 1998, South
Eventually the eggs hatched
and two babies can be seen in this photograph. The images appear fuzzy because
I took them from so far away. I was afraid to move too close for fear of
upsetting the adults or the babies.
This adult is bringing a
snake to the nest for the babies. The Mockingbirds were a constant presence
around the adults. When the adults showed up the Mockingbirds were right with
them. What's a mother to do?
