Note: I did report this to the USDA who immediately and safely removed it.

I'm assuming it was an escaped pet, given how cold our winters get. It was approximately 3ft long to the tip of its tail, if I'm remembering correctly.

Observed two robins claiming ownership of snake. Snake was alive at that point. One robin left. other kept trying to break up the snake or to swallow it. Eventually took it to the nest and tried to feed it to the nestlings. Left the dead snake in the nest and flew off.

First likely naturally occurring VA record. After talking with Ned Brinkley on Sunday, I had many questions. He said back in the 80’s they saw Green Anoles all over False Cape SP. I figured that means they must’ve been at Back Bay and could possibly still be there. So, I decided to check out the Coastal Live Oak forest to see if I could and lo and behold... Found one on the boardwalk. It was too hot to look much longer, but I feel there should have been reports of these throughout the years... This old male had several battle scars from fighting, so he is probably not alone. Only 13 miles from a known NC population. Released after photographed.
