Never seen this before. Was at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson, AZ this morning and saw motion out of the corner of my eye. Desert Cottontail and king snake in a ruckus. The rabbit seemed to be the aggressor, chasing off the snake into the brush. Certainly not great photos, but wanted to share this unique moment.

Now that's unusual behaviour. I'm glad you posted these Jeffrey. That's a great place to shoot.
