Bryan To the Rescue!

What a crazy night!! We were feeding the babies Sunday night when I heard a noise outside. We have a wild duck that has nested in our front flowerbed, & when Bryan went to investigate the noise he found our poor little duck encoiled by a 5-6 foot long rat snake! We assume the snake was after the duck's eggs & she was trying to fight it off. Bryan prodded the snake off the duck with a stick, but it kept trying to get at the eggs. It even climbed up the side of our house & wrapped around our gutter! Bryan quite bravely captured the snake & let it loose in the field away from the duck's nest. She was very happy that he was there to save her!!
