They then went into the stone wall and out the other side. A few seconds later a third Black Rat snake joined in the wrap. All the snakes were over 3 feet long. Must be mating season!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When a female snake is ready to mate, she begins to release a special scent (<strong style="font-style: inherit;">pheromones</strong>) from skin glands on her back. As she goes about her daily routine, she leaves an odor trail as she pushes off resistance points on the ground. If a sexually mature male catches her scent, he will follow her trail until he finds her. The male snake begins to court the female by bumping his chin on the back of her head and crawling over her. When she is willing, she raises her tail. At that point, he wraps his tail around hers so the bottoms of their tails meet at the <strong style="font-style: inherit;">cloaca</strong> -- the exit point for waste and reproductive fluid. The male inserts his two sex organs, the <strong style="font-style: inherit;">hemipenes</strong>, which then extend and release sperm. Snake sex usually takes under an hour, but it can last as long as a whole day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Female snakes reproduce about once or twice a year; however, the methods of birth vary among species. Some snakes give birth to <strong style="font-style: inherit;">live young</strong> (from one to 150 at a time), while others <strong style="font-style: inherit;">lay eggs</strong> (from one to 100 at a time); some even combine these methods by holding eggs internally until they hatch, and the babies are born live. For the most part, female snakes do not sit on their eggs like a hen, but in some cases they will protect their eggs (and their young) for a few days after they leave the mother's body.</span></div>

We are partially to blame when a bird is killed because we have multiple bird feeders on the property. Today this juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk captured a dove this morning. He did not take his catch away (as they usually do) but de-feathered and eat his catch on the lawn. He stayed on the lawn for over 30 minutes until we went out and chased it away.</span><br />

We found him on the ground. He was still alive and I picked him up in a towel. A few minutes later he started to come around and he seemed okay when we flew into the trees. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3b3b; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Red-shouldered Hawks are monogamous, and most individuals breed for the first time when they are two years old. Pairs usually remain in the same territories and reuse the same nest-sites for many years. Courtship lasts about 18 days, and during this time “circling flight” and “sky-dancing” displays are performed. In their circling flights, pairs soar together with their wings spread and their tails fanned. The male and the female soar toward and then away from each other, and one member of the pair sometimes soars higher than and dives on the other. Males “sky-dance” by repeatedly making a steep dive and then soaring upward in a spiral. Red-shouldered Hawks are particularly vocal prior to incubation, and they call repeatedly while engaged in courtship flights. - Red-shouldered Hawks usually nest in deciduous or mixed deciduous-coniferous forests. Nests are typically built at a crook of the main trunk in deciduous trees, more than halfway up the tree but within the canopy. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3b3b; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3b3b3b; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Red-shouldered Hawks lay one clutch per year. Replacement clutches are sometimes laid if the first clutch is destroyed. The species usually lays three to four eggs. Nest success varies overall, and the timing of nesting and food availability are important factors. Predation is also a threat to nesting success. Great Horned Owls and raccoons prey on eggs, young, and adult Red-shouldered Hawks. Red-tailed Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, martens, and fishers are also potential predators. - The eggs are incubated for about five weeks, mainly by the female. Incubation begins before all the eggs are laid; therefore, clutches hatch asynchronously. After the eggs hatch, the female broods the nestlings continually for a week, but thereafter spends increasingly less time brooding. While the female remains at the nest, the male is responsible for providing food. The male brings food to a spot near the nest and then calls for the female, who accepts the prey and delivers it to the young. Beginning several weeks before the young fledge (leave the nest), both the male and the female hunt for food for the young. The nestlings are able to tear apart food when they are about 18 days old. Young fledge when they are between 35 and 45 days old. By the time they are seven to eight weeks old, the fledglings begin to capture their own prey. At first they catch mainly insects, but after several weeks they start to catch vertebrates as well.</span></span>D. Carlson and B.

He eat his corn next to resident doe, Blaze, without bothering her which was a surprise because it is mating season. He has been here before in previous years and is probably the father of some of our resident deer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter. But is it true?</span></div>

As those relatively high numbers suggested, the corresponding winters were milder than average.</span></li>

He flops his front leg out when he walks and cannot put much pressure on it but he seems to have adapted to this injury. He also seems to have deformed antlers and I'm not sure if it is a genetic or nutritional issue (although he looks healthy). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is a testament to his strength and determination that he has survived. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Antler deformations can also be caused by leg injuries, which often result from deer-vehicle accidents. Front leg injuries coincide with antler deformation on the same side as the injury — a front left leg injury will affect the left antler. Rear leg injuries coincide with antler deformation on the opposite side — a rear left leg injury will affect the right antler. Depending on the severity, injuries to the leg may result in deformations to the antler in consecutive years or the deer may make a full recovery. The biological mechanism controlling this relationship between leg injuries and antler deformations is not fully understood but is thought to be associated with reallocating nutrients toward healing the leg injury, instead of antler growth.</span><div>
