Exactly the same scenario at my house for the past 3 years! Mr.
cardinal returns to the same window every year to do battle with his
reflection. Same technique: window-branch-window-branch, etc.
I kinda figured he is "the lonely guy" who continues not to score so
he does the window bit each year instead.
While it's entertaining to watch in the evening, it's a real pain to
be woken up by the pecking on the glass.
As Spock would say: "Fascinating!" ;-)
ODC (Obligatory Dak Content): I don't leave the Dak out at night
'cause the early morning strafing runs get intense in my driveway.
I'm starting to believe there IS a conspiracy like in Hithcock's "the
Birds" centered around deficating on humans prized vehicles. The more
you like your car/truck, the more like it is to be a target! ;-)
