A pair of agitated crows camped in front of White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers91裸聊视频� home swooped in Sunday morning, attacking the councillor, leaving her with blood gushing from her head.

That was one of multiple crow attacks in recent days, with 68 people reporting crow confrontations in the Lower Mainland between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Fathers, who posted a photo to Twitter Wednesday of a blood-soaked towel she used to stop the bleeding, can now laugh at the incident, which 91裸聊视频渟cared me to death.91裸聊视频�

She said there was a baby crow on her front lawn Sunday morning, located in the 1300-block of Lee Street, and she went outside at 6 a.m. to see if there was anything she could do.

Fathers said she was concerned that her cats would harm the animal, and she was unaware there were crows waiting to attack.

91裸聊视频淚 go outside, and the crows go mental. I guess the mom and dad flew down and swooped, attacked me,91裸聊视频� she told Peace Arch News Thursday.

The protective crow gouged her with its beak, leaving an inch-long gash on the top of her head.

91裸聊视频淭here was blood everywhere, I thought for a minute it was really bad, but I didn91裸聊视频檛 realize that the head bled so much.91裸聊视频�

Fathers said she went inside her home to attend to her wound, and went outside again, en route to the White Rock Farmers Market, where she is manager, at approximately 7:40 a.m.

91裸聊视频淭hey attacked me again getting into the car,91裸聊视频� she said.

Fathers said a baby crow was found dead on the sidewalk. She assumes that a raccoon killed one bird, and the crows were protecting their surviving young.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 admirable in a way, right? They91裸聊视频檙e so protective of their young.91裸聊视频�

The evening before, Fathers said she heard a commotion outside and saw a raccoon in a tree, where crows nested.

She said she91裸聊视频檚 not really worried about being attacked a third time, but she91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渄efinitely cautious91裸聊视频� when she leaves the house.

91裸聊视频淚 certainly tell them off when I go outside. I91裸聊视频檓 in my garden all the time, I say to them 91裸聊视频榶ou bloody crows 91裸聊视频� you got me.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

Fathers also has a fair warning for visitors.

91裸聊视频淚 tell my mom she has to protect her head when she comes to my door. My mom has been swinging her keys, has her hand above her head91裸聊视频� They seemed to have calmed down.91裸聊视频�

Fathers said she likes neighbourhood crows, describing herself as a 91裸聊视频渃razy animal lover.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淪o you know, to me, of all the people to get 91裸聊视频� go get someone that doesn91裸聊视频檛 like animals.91裸聊视频�

It91裸聊视频檚 currently breeding season for crows, which can lead to an uptick in attacks, according to experts. There91裸聊视频檚 an that Lower Mainland residents can use to document crow incidents, and so far hundreds .

Fathers said she has considered documenting her attack.

91裸聊视频淏ut I don91裸聊视频檛 want people to come look at them and get attacked by them,91裸聊视频� she said.

It91裸聊视频檚 not the first time a White Rock elected official has had a bloody encounter with wildlife.

Then-mayor Catherine Ferguson was attacked by a raccoon in 2009. She was bitten on the calf.

91裸聊视频淥h my God, yes. Catherine got attacked by a raccoon and she had to get a91裸聊视频� shot. In the back garden with her dog, crazy, isn91裸聊视频檛 it?91裸聊视频� Fathers said.

Following Ferguson91裸聊视频檚 attack, the mayor told PAN she suffered bruises and tetanus and rabies shots, but had no long-term injuries.
