Took the wife out birding with me today and had the pleasure of coming upon this little situation.

great pics. I miss Nevada. Even if most of the grass there looks dead. look, no snow and it probably isn't 22 degrees there..

Great series!

Thanks all! I literally sat down and snapped about 130 shots of this guy eating his snake. A lot of them are actually decent keepers, but just editing them all is a little head spinning for me!

Anyone care to help ID? I was thinking red-shouldered?

Nice capture. I think it's a Red shouldered also.
