Brown thrasher-black racer fight

[Nicodemus]

Caught this scrap out in the edge of the yard the other day. Bird was protecting her nest against this 5 foot racer. It went on for over an hour till it finally got dark.

Very cool! Those are both critters with attitudes to start with. I bet that was a heckuva scrap.

Did the eggs make it?

They had already hatched, and since I haven`t heard any chirping from it since then, I suspect they ended up as supper for the snake that night.

Erraboddy gotta eat and the thrasher can make more birdies.
