I was out exploring out on the Logan wetlands (west of the Landfill) and had an encounter with a crow. This is the second time in as many weeks that a crow (likely the same one since it was in the same location) came after me. It would circle around and fly right at my head from behind. It would practically land on my head squaking before circling around again. The second time it happened today, I did some karate / kung-fu thing with my hands to protect myself while screaming at it. It was freaky. I quickly decided to arm myself with a rock and wait for it again. It wisely held its distance so I had target practice with rocks. I missed, but it finally left me alone. Stay away from the crows.

What a unique experience. I couldn't amaze how shocked you were. It reminds me of the movie "The Birds" Alford Hitchcock. Important thing is your okay. Nice run.

Crows are mean. I've had that happen too.

I hate crows. when I was a kid we used to try to shoot them with our BB guns. Crows are incredibly smart, they see that gun barrel and they are gone. We probably knocked out a few neighbors windows but never bagged a crow.

FYI- Orlando airport is shut down due to some nasty thunderstorms. I was supposed to get home at 10 pm... who knows when it will be, now. You may need to bring some major caffeine for me in the morning, since I am already tired from little sleep last night.
