Many animals are themselves food for others, and the chipmunk in the previous photo may become prey to the crow in this photo. Crows are omnivores, eating whatever they can find, be it fruit, seeds, garbage or animals. One crow at the garden had recently caught a chipmunk and was being pursued by others for a share of the spoils. Crows are also carrion eaters, which is not a bad thing as they help clean up road-kill, and it also means that the animals that lost their lives, are at least helping another one survive.
