you might want to avert your eyes

We had a National Geographic moment on our vacation. We were staying in a condo near two other condos where the rest of my family was staying. One day while we were walking from one to the other we came upon this scene right in the grass 20 feet away from our back door. Somehow two baby birds had fallen earlier in the day and a couple of garter snakes had discovered them and were anxious for a chicken dinner. My kids and their cousins were able to witness these small snakes from just a few feet away as they pulled their feast under the house next door. Lucky for me (or not), my camera was very close by and I captured it for your viewing pleasure!
