Night time visitor

[CountryEscape]

So nice to see so many people that like snakes! I had a huge black snake that stayed in barn in hay bales. If we turned bale over and snake was under, we just turned it back, got another one. I stop to miss them in my yard when mowing, too. I hate skeeters and bugs that sting (wasps, hornets, etc.) far more! Barn swallows moved in, dive and swoop while I mow, so funny. I'm chasing up bugs for them! Wish I had more, but this year so far only one pair in the barn. Last year, 4 pair, and probably 20 babies by end of summer!

Yeah, and I don't wish I had more bugs either. Geesh, that was all messed up! Hate skeeters, and also bugs that sting. And, I had 4 pair of barn swallows last year, this year so far only a pair. Clear as mud? I type too fast, don't proofread .... that's my story anyhow. Patti

Waiting for his kid to get here, in the next hour or so, or at any time lol. Then off we go. I do have a way to chat while he drives, but I will be sleeping once we get going, take over driving later.

And now a daytime visitor. Hate to find out its a problem , it has been making regular patrols of the properity for years . Don't think its into sushi, never seen it in the water . Around water yes but not in it.

 

[sissy]

I have the same ones here and since they are foresting trees here they are driving everything out of the woods .300 acres of trees going going gone sad to see

 

[jupiter1]

Yes sad to see trees go. Hopefily its a managed tract and they well replant.

 

[fishin4cars]

looking at the pic, I can't identify it but it doesn't appear to be one to worry about around the pond. From you profile I would say it may be a king snake but from that distance hard to say. Doesn't appear to be any of the water snakes I'm familar with that would be a pond problem.

 

[jupiter1]

Black racer , very common here . Had one that lived under a wood deck for years. Got to wher as long as you kept a respectal distance it payed you no mind.

 

[sissy]

not a managed tract and I could take pics of 15 different areas around highway 58 where they have forested or are foresting and what a mess they leave behind ,branches pieces of trees to rot and get termites across the highway from me they did 344 acres 2 years ago and down by Axton dump they did 295 acres last fall and across from that they did 200 acres in the spring and it keeps going

 

[sissy]

they do not replant any of the tracts here just strip and what they don't want they leave behind none are managed
