They must have a nest nearby that they are defending. If you can walk on the opposite side of the road or move out of the area quickly, they may be less likely to swoop you, but otherwise it’s just a matter of waiting for them to finish nesting.
I guarantee there’s a nest. Wear a hat/helmet and try not to get too close, or just run like heck.
foreign accent syndrome is a thing and its so fucked up

For the first time ever, stygiomedusa gigantea, a gigantic jellyfish was caught on video by scientists in the Gulf of Mexico. There have only been 115 sightings of this deep sea jellyfish in the past 110 years.
Vultures are underrated. They’re smarter than we give them credit for, and can be surprisingly playful and friendly when socialized with humans. They’re no corvids, but they’re good birds, Brent.
Like three years ago ago I was walking home from school and a group if like ten vultures decided to happily walk along behind me a short distance. It was amazing
did you happen to be dead at the time?
When stuff gets run over on the road near our house, I move it off the road so the vultures can get to it safely. It makes for good pictures if you open a window and sit quietly so they don’t get spooked.
Cormorants are those birds that look like mini Loch Ness Monsters, the ones you see swimming in the water with just their head, neck, and a tiny bit of their back out. They stand upright when on land.
Baby birds are freaky-lookin’ things already when they aren’t baby waterbirds. These guys are just piling it on.
When wildlife photographer Kevin Ebi heard the bald eagle’s call, he knew exactly what was about to happen.
Ebi has spent years photographing wildlife in the Pacific Northwest, and he gained an extensive background on bald eagles while working on his book Year of the Eagle. But it was foxes he was hoping to photograph when he was in Washington State’s San Juan Island National Historical Park last Saturday. At this time of year, young foxes can often be seen in the region.
As the day neared late afternoon, one such young fox scampered across an open field with a rabbit, recently captured, dangling from its jaws.
Dive-bombing from above, a young eagle suddenly swooped down, wrapped its talons around the rabbit, and lifted it into the air, fox still in tow.
On the one hand, I feel kinda bad for the fox losing a meal.
On the other hand, that’s hilarious.
Am I wrong, or did the eagle call on purpose to make the fox turn around and accidentally present the rabbit as a target?
