The other way around, the green one is originally from Cuba. How did they hitch a ride to the US? 

  With Castro's boat people.

This guy was landscaping at my beach house when I arrived. He hung out for a couple days.

Big hunk of my neighbor's tree visited my yard today. 

It was well-placed.  No injuries or property damage.

 4 1/2 foot long Rat Snake.....well 4 foot now.

They are a protected species in MA. Had one that was about 10 ft long. My FIL said they used to be all over Cape Cod when he was a kid.

If Geico's marketing department had any sense, they'd put this in a "bizarro Geico" ad.

I can see it now, from reptile to amphibian.....that's about as trans as it gets.

If Geicos marketing department had any balls, they'd make a switching insurance commercial with Baker Mayfield

My son lives in Santa Barbara, CA.  This was on his trail camera in late June.  He lives in a residential area backing up to a ravine coming down from the mountains.

Had a big woodchuck in the yard yesterday morning.  Did not eat the flowers

Probably why it was roaming into "town" looking for a canine, feline, or.... for dinner.  My son notified the CA wildlife officials, but hasn't heard back.

Probably because they haven't found a Republican to feed to it yet.

No pic, as it went by too quickly, but I just saw a hummingbird out my office window.  Never seen any hummingbird before.

Too bad you didn't hear it.

Sounds like a formula 1 car going by.

Your best time to see one in your area is early may and at this time as they are at their migration north and south. We have them here all summer as we have feeders and inviting flowers planted everywhere. We have a couple nests here in one of our maple trees in the back yard. They are an amazing creature. Fun fact, when the migrate there heartbeat rate is over 1200 times a minute and when they fly they flap about 80 times a second.

I like to sit by our hanging plants relaxing in a chair and have them buzz by me to eat. Neat when sometimes they perch to eat.

'Spraying water on the back lawn this morning. Had a hummingbird fly up to water spray and drink for about a minute. Surreal."
