I was attacked by a crow on the way in to work this morning, I think.

When I was about halfway to work, as I was about to cross a street, I saw a crow on the other side in the yard of one of the buildings. As I went past, it flew up into a nearby tree and started cawwing like crazy. Then it swooped down and flew right over my head. It did this at least four or five times before it finally stopped following me down the sidewalk. It was close enough that I probably could have reached up and hit it or grabbed it, assuming it didn't dodge or something. I'm guessing there was a nest or something nearby.

The whole rest of the time I was walking the work, I'd occasionally hearing a crow calling and I'd look up and see one circling overhead a few hundred feet. Don't know if it was the same crow or if it called in its friends or what.

It's possible it had a nest nearby. Seagulls will do things like that if you approach their nest areas for instance.
