Photo shared with me from anonymous source, confirmed found in Bell Canyon vicinity. The only case of bicephalia I’ve seen confirmed in the Santa Monica Mountains vicinity. Can’t confirm date/year of original observation. Animal was supposedly donated to an Audubon Zoo facility after being kept in captivity, can not confirm this or current status of the animal. Apparently likely no longer living but lived at least 14 years in captivity supposedly.

On a morning walk behind the animal control shelter, I spotted a writhing black ball and a wing in a tree. Holding up my binoculars, I couldn’t believe my eyes. About 30 feet up in the air, a Ratsnake was dangling from a limb and struggling to swallow a Northern Mockingbird. I ran back to my office for my camera. Returning in about 5 minutes, it was still going at it. I watched for about 20 minutes until they fell into the undergrowth and I couldn’t see it anymore. I was able to capture some video as well and posted it on my nature photo blog. http://williamwisephoto.com/photographyblog/ratsnake-devours-mockingbird

Had spotted a white bundle of fur in a tree and after a time spent studying determined it was a Raccoon with either Albinism or Leucism. It shifted a few times over a couple of hours and finally when I had nearly given up, it briefly opened it's eyes. Which confirmed this as an Albino, as Leucism does not impact eye pigment.

@sambiology @mchlfx @wildcarrot I went looking for @jblinde Siren's but got distracted obviously. Has anyone mentioned seeing this animal at LLELA?
