Beware of Bird

A couple of years back, I was being swooped by a territorial blue jay every time I walked out at the west of our home (the bank executive side, not the movie star one). This bird was relentless. It would fly just over my head, so close I could hear and feel the rush of its rapidly flapping wings. Still, I had matters to attend to at that portion of our house, like taking out the garbage and recycling. One day, this blue fury finally (from my perspective) went too far. He/she actually grabbed a hunk of my hair toward the back of my neck and yanked it out. That's right, this inedible turkey pulled some of my locks out by their very roots. After that, the diving bastard actually left me alone. I guess the jay had made its point.
