I played Woodside in Airdrie on Saturday. It was the 6th hole, the uphill dogleg left par 4. I was walking past the water on the left side of the fairway and got dive-bombed by one of the red-winged blackbirds. Must have been a little too close to it's nest.

Hit me in the back of the head and when I looked up it was coming in again. Gave my 9-iron a quick swing out of reflex and ran off like a little girl. The bird didn't follow me but attacked one of my playing partners instead.

There is also a nest on the Par-4 11th at Woodside, near the water on the right. I avoided that one cause I saw the bird ahead of time.
