Rooster crowing incessantly for two days

[HappyClucker7]

My EE rooster, Bunny, has been crowing almost constantly for the past two days, starting at around 3:30-4:00 am and going until the sun goes down. He has never done this before.
He is also very on edge, constantly pacing and looking towards the woods. I noticed the girls are kind of nervous too, and my subordinate rooster has been on guard as well.
I don't know if there is some kind or predator (I think I might have heard a bear?) that has been walking past the garden? Or maybe he's just restless, because I keep them in an enclosed run? The run is plenty big for my 7 chickens though, and I do let them out to roam around in the garden. They were out all day yesterday because I was cleaning the coop.
Does anyone know why he might be crowing so much, and how to stop him from doing it?

I would say predator.
When a predator gets too close or in the area: bear, cougar, bobcat, fischer, etc. my rooster won’t let the ladies out of the coop or run and he will lay in the doorway.
You could lock them into the coop or enclosed run if it is enclosed. This would help stress levels and not cause the ladies to stop laying due to stress.
If you have a trail camera, I would put it up to see what predator you are dealing with.

I was thinking it was most likely a predator too. He's such a good rooster.
I'm going to order some trail cams today.

And while you are at it, order some electric fencing as well. Hot wire will keep the predators at bay.

The whole coop and run is in a garden with high fencing, so it should be okay. I'll look into an electric fence though too.

High fencing won't keep bears, bobcats, foxes, raccoons, martens or other predators from getting at your chickens. Bears will tear it down and the rest of them will just climb or jump it.
