Bird Attack!!! (Part 2)
It turns out that the bird wasn't clumsy or woozy from eating fermented berries--the damn thing WAS attacking me!
Check this out:
Male Blackbird Intent on Protecting Turf
From the link:
"Nesting season is in full swing for the red-winged blackbird, making the males extremely aggressive. Walk or bike too close to one's nest and expect to hear its high, menacing squawk overhead. Then comes the peck-peck-peck on your head, victims say, or claws rustling your hair."
So, it was a red-winged blackbird and not a starling that was the culprit! But I didn't hear any squawk. Oh. Maybe because I had the Sex Pistols cranked? "Now I got a reason, now I got a reason..." SLAM!
At least I didn't get PECKED!
