This morning Anthony Fortunato was walking to the point beach area, when he spotted something strange on the dune fence. “At first I thought someone weaved seaweed through the fence. Then I saw the head and looked in disbelief, thinking it was fake. It wasn’t!”
Snakes are a big part of our ecosystem and this guy was just trying to get a quick meal. The birds around the point are in big flocks moving from bush to bush feeding. I am sure this snake decided this would be a good spot to catch some warming rays and breakfast. These snakes are harmless unless you mess with them. I have several at my house that live under the sheds and eat our mice.
Many people’s first reaction to a snake is to kill it, they eat pests. I see posts all the time and most of the people react that way. Leave them be, unless you like mice in your house.
FIsh On!
