BY THE WAY: my college chum Meredith, a smart, funny woman who’s about to move to Guam to study brown tree snakes, has started a blog of her own to document her adventures. Her life is far more interesting than mine, and you should definitely go subscribe to her blog right now.

everyday adventures of a North Woods naturalist
I checked out Meredith’s blog, thanks for the heads-up, Rebecca. Those appallingly invasive Boiga irregularis are a cute native species where I live – see my posts at http://arovingiwillgo.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/close-encounters-of-the-snakey-kind/ and http://arovingiwillgo.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/baby-boiga-bites-blogger/
It’s spring here now and I’m expecting to see a few at night. My husband has a special “sqwark” noise he makes when he finds one in the garage – I always know what he’s found. I find them attractive and unusual, but no doubt in places where they have trashed the wildlife, they are hated, like cane toads are here.
