Birds: Nature's ***holes
So last week kids were swooped on by mocking bird that nests in our landscape ( ligustrum tree ). Neighbor wife too ( which was kinda funny ).
Yesterday, im doin yard work, and i pulled out the ladder to get a glimpse of nest.
ITS EMPTY. This thing is guarding an EMPTY NEST.

Last spring, I want to say around May or so, the mockingbirds around my office were dive-bombing me for a couple of weeks. Then it stopped. Must be some part of their programming to get very aggressive that time of year. But it's very unsettling to say the least.
Today I was walking in an the mockingbirds were very suspicious. They were chirping in a certain way to each other and appearing to guard above the walkway. They didn't dive bomb me. But I know it is coming - this spring has brought on earlier plant and animal behavior, so it wouldn't surprise me if those ***-holes start it again.
I think I'm going to get a mask and wear it on the back of my head, facing a bit upwards. I don't think they will attack the front of a human. This strategy works in other applications (such as rice farmers in India avoiding tiger attack: Face Masks Fool the Bengal Tigers - NYTimes.com)
I'm gonna check out Amazon.
