  2. upon seeing the corn snake i screamed like a woman giving birth; then i came up with a plan - i corralled the snake into a rubbermaid tub with the aid of a ski pole and a broom and carried him off to the back of the property... at this time he has hopefully found shelter in the neighbor's barn... oh, the eagle - of course you know that an eagle is an adult/mature by the white plummage on head and tail feathers!!!
