NO not hit by a buzzing martin yet, but i have been hit by a buzzing barnie on a few times, tonight the most recent. I am in the horse barn at the very least two to three times a day, but, when the eggs start hatching a few will tap me on the hat, I think it is kind of cute. They fly inches over the horses and think nothing of it.
I do remember once when a barnie fledging come out of the nest to soon and a couple of the horses were checking it out on the floor, there was a lot of noise and maybe fifty or so barnies were mobbing them. What a commotion that was. :shock: :shock: :lol: Ed.
