This is how we get rid of door to door salesmen

Just kidding. This is a little yellow rat snake we found “hanging out” at our front door the other day. I’ve seen a couple of these yellow rat snakes around here. A really big one and this little one. Neither has shown any aggression and I guess they’ll keep the rodents away. So I guess I’m not really bothered by them being around. The only other type of snake I’ve seen around here are the little black racers. They’re pretty common in this area and completely harmless. I witnessed a black racer catching and eating a little lizard once. That was pretty cool.

The other day at work I saw an osprey sitting on a pole eating a fish, so I took some video of it and posted it on YouTube:

Ospreys are pretty common around here. Sometimes that are mistaken for bald eagles due to their white heads.

I took this video using my pocket camera this afternoon. This was in Titusville, Florida at the river. I see these dolphins in this same area almost every day on my drive across the river while going to work. Today they were chasing fish along the seawall and doing a pretty good job of catching them. It’s kinda like shooting fish in a barrel! This video shows 2 dolphins, but there were at least 5 hanging around. Here’s the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxHExrZ9k4Q
