I live about 20 miles away from where I grew up. I never saw a wild snake in all my years of living at my parents house.
It all started when I once ran over a baby snake with my lawnmower a few years ago. It went under the wheel and was maybe 3 inches long with two yellow stripes. It was fine and I picked it up for a picture and let it go. In that same area in my yard this year I have seen a bigger version of that snake, maybe the same one. I haven't seen more than one snake at the same time but I suspect there is more than one based on the sizes I have seen. One of them hangs out in a crack in my garage foundation.
One time I was moving around laundry and heard what sounded like a nerf vortex football with the whistlers on it being thrown. Went outside and spotted a red tail hawk in a tree a few doors down.
This was a few blocks away by a pond. I saw a great blue heron. Not too big of a deal. You've seen them standing in water. You may have seen them flying. But have you ever seen them in a tree? They have every right to be in trees but seeing one in a tree was just so unusual.
