[TowerTalk] birds on the elements

[Dan Evans]

I doubt the birds will care much what type of snake is up there, as long 
as it's big enough to be a threat to the birds...

One note of caution though, snakes are one of the favorite foods of many 
birds of prey so you may actually be attracting them:-)

Around this area at least, your best bet would be the Black Rat Snake, 
which is just a plain black snake which will run in the neighborhood of 
5 feet long, more or less...


Good luck,
