Ledger photo / TIM GULLA HITCHCOCK-ESQUE — Alfred Hitchcock might have wondered if his movie, "The Birds," was becoming reality if he saw this sight in Gaffney on Thursday. And even if these birds weren't kin to Hitchcock's pecking man-killers, at the very least you didn't want to be standing beneath them as they flew overhead. This flock was delighting in a search for food in a freshly-raked lawn behind the Bank of America on West Floyd Baker Boulevard and deafening chirps could be heard from hundreds of feet away. They pecked at the lawn, but no humans that we know of, for close to an hour before heading for different pastures.
