Mother nature can be cruel
My wife and I have watched mom/dad finches build a nest on our front porch for weeks . I looked in the nest about 3 weeks ago and there were 5 eggs . About 2 weeks ago all 5 hatched . Thirty minutes ago a 6 ' black snake crawled up the column near the nest and grabbed one of the babies 😕 . Between a broom and a hooked tool we have I was able to get the snake down .
I moved the snake into the woods but I fear he will be back , maybe even tonight . I don't want to kill the snake as they eat copperhead snakes that we have here . I feel bad for these finch babies but I guess it's just mother nature at work . Still sad 😔 .
