Title: Mockingbird Reflecting
Post by: Rotarran on February 08, 2014, 04:19:13 PM

So on my Saturday morning walk I saw a Northern Mockinbird looking directly through a window of a building as if it wanted to get inside.  It was fairly cooperative and made for some interesting pictures:

Nice series. He may have been trying to stare down his reflection.  If you search YouTube for "mockingbird attacks reflection" you'll see lots of videos of them attacking windows and mirrors.
