Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Thank you. Coming up on about a month now. They will actually dive bomb me, slamming into my back repeatedly. I have two pitties and they're terrified.
I've never seen such aggressive birds before and look like a mad man maneuvering through my neighborhood lately
If it feels any better, it's because they're scared to death you and your sweet pitties will eat their babies. After all, a high percentage of fledglings die in the wild every year, and they've invested a lot of energy into getting their babies this far. Yes they're stupid, but think what you'd do if a bear attacked your dogs.
I'm not sure if this link will work but
