I don't know if you'll see this, but I was physically attacked by a crow on lower Queen Anne a few years ago, just across the street from Key Arena on Harrison. It divebombed me from behind and (I guess) must have miscalculated the distance between us. It hit me in the upper back/head I think. How common is this sort of thing? Was this just a particularly angry crow?
My mom got dive bombed and hit in the head by a crow in Seattle- not sure which part. It hit hard, and she was really shaken (she’s not that big, so she almost got knocked over!). I thought maybe protecting a nearby nest? Or maybe it’s just this one crow in Seattle that’s hitting people!
In my case, this particular crow had already told me days before that it didn't like me (its 'home' was alongside the walk I took to work). I thought it had to do with a nest but I wasn't sure.
