July 5, 2000 Dick Schmitt was attacked in the woods by a vicious Ruby Throated Hummingbird. Both survived. In 50 years of working in the woods, I do not recall ever seeing a hummingbird out there. I probably have, but cannot recall seeing one, as they tend to stay around more open areas. I was cruising a tract of timber, and had on my old red felt hat that I always wear in the woods. I had stopped to take a compass sight while running a cruise line, and something came buzzing up behind me and hit my hat about 3 licks. Whap, whap, whap, I turned around and hovering about 3 feet away was this hummingbird. We looked each other in the eye, he made another pass at the hat and left. I reckon he got down wind and that was too much. I have worn that old hat for 10 or 12 years summer and winter. It is pretty rank.
June 29, 2000 Dick and Iris made it 49 years. Happy Anniversary!
