Our friend Heather found this snake in the bushes in her front yard and called us over. Our other friend Stephanie grabbed it and dropped it into a terrarium she brought with her. Then she took it home.

Western Scrub Jay Feeding
One of the Western Scrub Jays that comes every morning to feed on freshly-cut bread cubes. It jams as much as it can possibly fit into its beak before flying off to feast on the pickings, and then returns to load up all over again.
