The tiny bird has spent the last several weeks dive-bombing people as they walk near the intersection of California and Front Street.

A few bird experts say the determined dive-bomber is just defending his nearby nest, using a tactic behavior experts call mobbing.

Nobody's been hurt, but quite a few people have been startled.

The bird has also developed a following. Several people now gather to watch the daily dive-bombings.
