Dive-Bombing Birds: When and How to Avoid Them?
Kevin M asked:
It’s springtime here in the Northern Hemisphere, which is a mixed blessing for those of us living on a tree-lined street. It means that we’re getting into dive-bombing season as crows, grackles, magpies and other birds defend their nests.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for avoiding being dive-bombed? Or any warning signs to watch for?
Also, when is the latest in the year that anyone has been dive-bombed? I used to think that dive-bombings were a May-July sort of thing. However, I was once surprised to be dive-bombed in mid-September, just a few days prior to the official start of Autumn.
