Gambel, Blue and Mountain quail.

Oh no! Even worse!

I'd come and help but refuse to get out of my pj's today and no one needs to see that!

Sometimes i work outside with or without pjs on. Nobody cares.
Hubby saw a doe not far from our house today.

@007Sean, sorry for such a loss and waste. I've seen other instances where snakes have constricted/killed fowl but were not large enough to ingest them. Sorry it happened to your birds.

I just wasted 30 minutes trying to chase down one of my CCL's. There was a wild bird in their run and when I opened the run door to get it out, one of those ornery girls got out. Thankfully, she got stuck in between some hay bales and I was finally able to scoop her up.

I'm looking at online places to find a long handled net. Any one have recommendations?

Have you tried a chicken hook? You snag them by the ankle.

Have you tried a fishing supply place ?

Many years ago I was running a hound and saw a fawn crossing through a break in a stone wall. Fawn saw me and 'melted' in place on the wall much like your picture. Along came the beagle following rabbit scent right through the break in the wall. Fawn never moved, and beagle never saw or smelled it. I walked to the stone wall, looked at the fawn and carefully stepped over it. Only thing that moved was the fawn's eyes. Good 'nature' memory from many years ago. Thanks for bringing it back to mind, Sean.

I have a handful of does who frequent my place. In the summer and fall if mama has to go somewhere she'll leave the fawn either under my deck or in my fenced back yard.
