It was critter week here at Blazing Trails Farm in Connecticut. Some of the critters were expected, others were pleasant surprises and one was decidedly shocking. The weather was lovely, allowing for plenty of time to get out there and take in the beauty of it all!

Love your pictures, the snake, not so much :( I think I would die if I reached into a nest box and found one of these. It is huge.
