saw loads of them when i was in florida a few years back, and up in savanha, i didnt like the red hornets,

they just were out to get you if you upset them,

saw a armadilo walking down the highway

shot a cotton mouth snake for my uncle that was too close to his house for his like'ing! fed it to the catfish in his lake he had some nice guns too, a snake charmer, a 410 pistol that i think hold 6 shots was used to dispatch the snake

he like to have a big black snakes around that get in the compost that have no venom, they eat the bugs not sure what they are called

do you get vultures around by you on garbage day? they are a pritty sight to see, wings out wide just standing there on the road/pavement

the black snakes some call Racers, or indigo... not sure if they are the same. but i do know they will chase you if you dont leave them alone - nearly died laughing when my stepmom tried to chase one away from her mom's doorstep but ended up being chased herself, back into her car and he thumped his tail at her like a rattle snake for good measure lol

 

we have LOADS of copper heads here.... my husband seems to find them accidentally. one on the bike trail, one in the national park in the middle of the path, and one behind the seat of an MGB he bought a few years back... the car had been parked under a pear tree for years before he got it. all we could figure was the snake just made itself at home because of the pears attracting rats and birds.... the thing that scared him the most was the night before he drove the car home he had been removing pears and other junk without a single thought about snakes.. especially copperheads. they're hard to see because they blend right into the dead leaves!

 

and yes he have buzzards but not on garbage day lol they hang around a lot more during hunting season because hunters just throw the guts and bones any old place.. tell you what... when they swoop in low its very intimidating!!! they can almost block out the sun! one did that a few weeks ago while i was outside with my kids... for a second i thought i had seen the return of the bald eagle..

 

well... he was bald for sure lol

 

thanks
