Kimberly Womack sent me this photo of a black rat snake climbing a tree to get at the nest of a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers.
Her questions (and I do not know the answers, so if you do let me know and I'll pass it along):
How does the snake know that there's a nest hole high up in the tree? Vibrations? Or does it just climb trees at random, which seems unlikely.
And why did it pass a nest hole that was lower on the trunk to get to one that's higher?
Rikki? Are you out there?
