RE: [cobirds] El Paso county Dickcissel and rattlesnake uppdate

Assuming no one was in immediate danger, I would leave it alone.  Otherwise, wait until everyone calms down, get  your supplies together and capture it and relocate it (hopefully within 1 to 2 miles).

Birders,

 

In my opinion, it may be more helpful to offer suggestions on how to handle a situation than to assign blame. 

 

Bill Maynard, your explanation of how you've dealt with poisonous snakes is greatly appreciated.

 

Just my 2 cents.

An interesting and successful morning:

 

1. Found two Dickcissels just off Hanover road where the Frost Ranch sign is. The birds were on the power lines that run to the south.along a ranch road

 

2. Saw rattlesnake previously reported by Cinnamon (it was big)

 

3. Got ranch hand to kill rattlesnake

 

4. Took more pictures of Dickcissel
