I had an appointment in town this morning @ 10:00.

About 9:00 I left the house and closed screen door. Turned around when I heard the dogs take off and head across the driveway to a set of solar panels. I followed and started hearing a small animal distress sound. Thought it was a baby bird but as I got closer I recognized a sound I'd heard plenty of times on a FoxPro, cottontail distress. This time it wasn't a recording.

My dogs are pretty well trained on snakes and I could see them stopped short of the sound so I started thinking snake.
Sure enough as I got close I could see a struggle going on. A medium sized bull snake had a wrap on a cottontail. As I watched the rabbit would kick a little and the snake would adjust, slowly tightening his grip.

I couldn't stick around to see the outcome or I'd be late for my appointment so I told the dogs to stay away and went to town. Looked when I got back several hours later but didn't find anything.

Cell phone didn't take a real good pic. Maybe zoom in a little.
