He is a cute little thing, isn't he? Would have liked it better without the twigs, but I have a feeling this little guy wasn't about to stay where you told him to. I might have preferred it cropped a little, too. He is a cutie, though. Thanks for sharing this.
Wildlife photography must be the hardest discipline in photography, there are so many things that can and do go wrong. You did well to get any photos in that mess of twigs. You have to shoot fast and often to increase your chances of getting a good shot.
I agree with trisbert - it must be difficult to capture a shot of such a quick creature. I bet he didn't stick around, especially with the rattlesnake close by, so you probably couldn't get any more pictures. He's a cute lil fellow. Maybe you'll have better luck next time! That's a clever title :^)
