This is a flock in my neighborhood. One day I noticed them feeding - slowly working their way around the corner. Suddenly one of them started running back towards the corner - lifting his feet up and running just as fast as he could, with his head jerking back and forth, and the rest of the flock chasing him like he was a thief!

As he rounded the corner I saw that he had a three-foot black snake in his mouth, and its squirming was causing his head to jerk about. The others in the flock were trying their best to catch him and get a share, but he finally got a firm grip and flew away with his prize.
