there are also blackbirds that swoop at UCSF up on Parnassus. What happens is they make a nest in one of those shorter trees on the edge of the sidewalk. Because the nest is so low anytime someone walks by the bird attacks thinking you’re a threat.

I know from experience – trying so hard to be butch and then screaming like a skinny white woman when the bird pecked my head!

I’ve been dive-bombed twice on De Haro and 16th out front Sally’s… same place but maybe 8 months apart. Nature of the bird? Protecting their young? It’s pretty scary/funny.

Not in the mission, but there is also a “Swoop” on Church between Market and Duboce, about midway up the block, near the grocery store. I saw it divebomb a guy yesterday and we both laughed.

These birds must be talking to each other.
