WINONA, Minn. — Somewhere in the Crestview neighborhood on the Winona bluff-tops a mama rattlesnake has given birth to a bunch of babies. The third rattler of the season has been reported, this one in the 1400 block of Highland Drive. Police called a trained handler who removed the snake to a far-away, less human-populated area. Mamas typically give birth to about 10 at a time. Most don’t survive long. Ravens, crows, falcons, coyotes, possums, skunks and cats find them delicious.
