Jeremy, the tree man, met Kacey and David as he went around the property with me to see what needed to be cut or trimmed. Near the old oak tree, Kacey almost stepped on a black snake (a good kind). We all saw the snake, commented on it, and walked away. When Jeremy looked back, he saw the snake climbing the tree! I took a photo of him as he made a video of the snake.
I didn’t think to make a video, but I have two shots that show the snake at the hole and slithering further in. I looked back after a minute or so, and the snake had totally disappeared into the hole. I hope it was empty, because in previous years we have watched birds entering there to feed their babies. We’ll be eating outside more often now that the weather is warmer, so I’ll see if birds take up residence there again.
