Wild pyros feed on rodents, lizards and birds(nest robbing)
What they key on is local dependant. Each population takes advantage of common prey timing and each differs.
I can tell you, what I have not seem them eat, snakes and insects. Now insects may sound funny, but both lepidus and willards, eat insects when young. I have also seen lepidus eat birds.
Babies normally hatch in late July to Nov. This information, was taken from several nest sites. We don't get waves of babies that are common in other parts of the country.
In fact, we just had a bunch of baby gophersnakes appear in the last couple of weeks. They also appeared in july.
Around here, it seems that the snakes that are going to reproduce the next year, stay active for as long as they can. Non-breeders, go inactive much sooner. I hope this helps. FR
