Beware the season of Swoops

Posted on March 20th, 2010 by Craig Newmark

You might recall the terror inspired last year by Swoops the bird, who would nest on busy streets and attack people who came too close. Last year, my gf was hit twice, and I was Swooped several years ago.

I blogged about this menace last year and Swoops also has appeared on TV.

I see more of Swoops on Ninth Ave in SF, and I think mating season's near.

He looks a little dangerous! I will watch the skies when in Haight, where I visit a friend once in awhile. He is an old veteran hippie that lived on Page street for 25 years. His stories are amazing. I love visiting. Will think that I was warned and of you if I get 'swooped'! I almost want to now lol.
