I don't know how many here go to the Cornell University birdcams, but up until the other day they had a wood duck cam that was in Greenville, Texas.  All of a sudden, I noticed that it was no longer there.  I saw the link for the archives, and decided to go there and see what was there and there was a link to the wood duck cam.  It turns out that a very large snake got into the box and not only feasted on the 13 eggs, but also killed the mom.

Very sad.  I read about a nest site last year where the same thing happened with a snake-can't remember which one it was.

It was with the Barn Owls on the Cornell web site.  Both incidents are in Texas and both with Cornell's webcams.   Hmmmm.
