snake-ectomy

alerted to situation by outraged chickadee; it isn't even his nest. 

Snake-ectomy successful; although it was of a full snake from an empty bluebird nest
Triumphant photo-op omitted in preference for quick release of pissed off black rat snake
Afterwards, chickadee, blue-gray gnatcatcher & prothonotary warbler all stood nearby & rattled off their opinions - perhaps complaining that I hadn't gotten there quick enough.
