Great photo story Kim. Brings back most unpleasant memories! There were a couple of summers several years back where this tattered cardinal assaulted my kitchen windows relentlessly all day long. He would show up about 8 a.m. and leave at dusk. It got old. I was afraid he was going to break my windows! I tried everything to discourage him, but he wouldn't be stopped. Crazy. Tammy
Too funny, or sad for the very confused bird! :) It's been going on for about a week. Now that we have a rain-free day, we'll be able to see if he's still at it. He's persistent, but at least he's keeping his efforts at close range. AND, he's not at it ALL day long, as yours was. I believe the bus mirror should hold up to his antics. lol
Great story and pics. Funny how birds get territorial in Spring. Somewhere he probably has a mate and he is darn sure the mirror bird isn't going to steal her away.
Born in the burbs, destined to live in the country... As long as I can remember, I've had an innate love of nature and animals. I was the little girl who wanted to bring home every lost or injured critter she wandered upon. Early in life I discovered the healing power of the great outdoors.
When my husband and I were expecting our first child we bought a humble little house on 10 acres in a small town we'd never heard of before. In just a few years we've been blessed with two little girls, rescued a few dogs, acquired a small flock of Shetland sheep, raised several egg laying hens, and realized just how much we have yet to learn about ourselves, each other and the world around us.

ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest thing! Silly birds...I have a little bird family that's been nesting on the back porch. Hopefully they won't attack! LOL!
