This bird is a regular at the dog park that I frequent 3-4 days a week. Usually he doesn't bother people, but on this day he decided to have some fun. Throughout the morning he was buzzing everyone's head in the park. He/she (not sure) would hoover above someone about a foot above there head. Scared some people so bad they left. To me and a few others it was cheap entertainment.
Me and another dog owner decided we would play his game. After making his rounds tormenting the local dog owners he would fly back to a fence nearby. So I decided to go wait by the fence and see if he was camera shy.
Turns out he doesn't like cameras. I was able to fire off a few shots about 20 feet from him. Then the fun was over and it was his turn to have fun with me. He flew at me and I ran like a bear was charging me. The quote I got from some of the others was "I never knew a 280ib white boy could outrun a freight train"..ha ha ha. You would have thought a swarm of bees was attacking me. A good laugh and a lesson learned for me..Don't take pictures of The Ol Crow, without a good zoom lens:wink5:
Turns out he was just looking for a friend..

He didn't like the sound of the camera from this shot

He decided he had enough and the charge was on. I was running backwards so It's a little blurry.

He ended up putting one claw on Dave's hand and then slowly turned and walked away.

A day at the dog park that stands out a bit from the others without a doubt And proof positive that birds do have a brain, even ugly ones:wink5:
