Not really strange David, he’s just defending his territory from a perceived interloper: his reflection. I have needed to hang sheets on the outside of the window to spare a determined robin.

For the last week the male from the active box in our side yard has taken to "attacking" our windows. We feel bad for him that he might get hurt or overly stressed. But he also starts at 5:00am on our bedroom window. We have tried putting up decals, pieces of paper, pictures, closing the drapes, etc.. Nothing seem to help. And this morning he actually landed on the back of a squirrel, twice, to chase him away from the side yard also. Any ideas?
