Crime scene analysis
Looks to me like a bird got killed. Found some holes that don't seem to be occupied by crawfish, larger than most others around the property.
Anyone have any ideas or opinions?

Re: Crime scene analysis
For a second, I thought I saw a shed skin by the hole. That would have really wrapped it up (no pun intended).

Re: Crime scene analysis
The back yard is mostly just a field, and the property is surrounded by cow fields. I've never seen any cats around, so I figure it might have been a snake. Think a snake would come out and look around if it smelled a bird by the entrance to its hole?
King snakes, rat snakes, and racers all are native. Anyone know if they would be likely suspects?

Re: Crime scene analysis
My guess would be a bird of prey captured a bird.

LOL! That definately would have been "evidence A". A shed has been found about 50 yards from where I took the pics, though it was over a year ago. I saw a small black snake not too long ago which I believe to be a baby racer, wish I could have gotten some pics.

Very possible, I didn't think of that.

Re: Crime scene analysis
Star you are supposed to be on your 20000 post thread.
Sure I think it could be a king or rat snake...or do you have water mocassins in Louisiana?

Re: Crime scene analysis
John White is probably right!!!
Of course we would all like to think it was a snake that did it...could be...! Except that the grass is not really too disturbed around it like a snake might cause, so more than likely, a bird of prey...if it just happened recently.

Indeed we do, though I have never seen any on the property. No water sources, and the yard drains fast. Will definately keep an eye out though.

Less than 24 hours ago. I don't have the field experience to be able to tell about the grass. Do snakes really make that much of a disturbance that you can tell? I really need to get out in the woods more lol

Re: Crime scene analysis
I'd say bird of prey kill but the holes could be from gophers or other dwelling animals?

Re: Crime scene analysis
It's Louisiana, having crawfish holes in your yard is a requirement

Lol, that's the truth. I'm right across the border and most of my family is in the Ville Platte/Mamou area in LA.
