Absolutely gorgeous bird.
Never heard of an Eastern Milk. Off to look up. (I would have guessed maybe Fox Snake.)
Those squirrels are too cute...and, I don't even like squirrels. They are all head!
The one time I had to take a snake off a glue trap, I found regular paper towels to be very helpful. Somehow, the glue was more attracted to the fuzzy paper than it was to the snake, sort of catching up all the sticky, and snake came off easier than I expected, and with no visible damage.
