Looks like a corn snake. They are great tree climbers

Thinking the snake went up there for a meal of fresh eggs.
Hi Linda! I think that is exactly what he was after.

Caterpillars become butterflies and woodpeckers become snakes. NO?

Yep, he got the eggs! We had a birds nest up in our laundry room with Wren eggs, and the same thing happened...my husband was home thankfully! When the snake dropped down from the cabinets.

Hope the woodpeckers ok, excellent shots Lamar.
Thanks Jim! Most likely but can't say the same for the eggs.

Great shots Lamar, I had one of those Red Rat Snakes get into a small hole in the mortar between bricks on the front of my house and then stick his head out. Must be an ambush position. Hope the woodpecker got away. :-D :thumbup:

Last month I found this Red-bellied Woodpecker working hard on it's nest. A couple of weeks later I stopped by to check on the nest and found this snake had taken over. I was amazed the snake could get up a tree that had no branches. I thought some of you might find this interesting. Comments always appreciated.
He went in looking to eat the eggs or babies, great shots, Lamar, nice and sharp
