Crow dive bombing is common around this time in early June. âA crow followed me for about a block before swooping at my head,â said Clare in Greenwood, who didnât give her last name. âI believe it was trying to scare me into dropping the bag of Dickâs hamburgers I was carrying home for my dinner.â While the hamburgers probably didnât help, crow dive bombings usually arenât motivated by food.
