I love seeing and hearing the orioles when they arrive.
When they are fighting off rival males they will fly through tree branches with wreckless abandon, and chirping loudly in their distinctive trill.

As for garter snakes eating birds, when they get large enough, they will eat wahetever they can fit in their mouths. They have been known to eat vole and shrews, so small birds particularly newly hatched ones, would be right up on their menu.

Fortunately the snakes are much more beneficial than harmful to our backyard environment.

I am a legend in my own mind!
