Brown thrasher berating mourning dove who wants to perch on pole, but who only stays a moment

Black rat snake heading for woodpile and that I fortunately did not step on

The brown thrashers don't always want to share a perch with mourning doves. Despite their crabby nature though, I appreciated one giving his warning signal yesterday so I didn't step on a rat snake at my woodpile. 😊
