Unbelievable Luck

While climbing in Lake Tahoe, my brother and I saw something I would never have imagined seeing. I was walking along a small trail when I heard an alarm call coming from some sort of squirrel. It sounded like a squirrel trying to distract me aways from its babies. After not being able to find the source of the sound, I looked down at my feet and saw not only my FIRST rubber boa on the crawl (all previous boas had been flipped under boards) but a rubber boa that was squeezing the life out of its freshly caught meal, a huge chipmunk!! I can't explain how psyched I was, so I'll just post the photos.

We also saw a bear that was treed by some dogs! Sadly, I only had my super wide angled zoom lens at the time:
