OMG what bird of prey would dare attack a 8 foot constrictor? Does any bird have such audacity?

Why sure, one of the LA Pines caught and given to either Memphis Zoo or Vandeventer was in a fight with a hawk. People heard the commotion and found a hawk trying to kill the snake and a snake coiled around the hawk. I bet it happens nearly every day, well not the LA Pine thing, but birds eating bulls, well, maybe not everyday, but alot, ok, you got me, probably only a few times a year at best
