What's with all the darn robins flying into my windows lately? I sit in my home office and watch the same one try all morning. These aren't high speed neck-breakers, just constant low-speed love taps into my windows.

Maybe they've lost the will to live. And they're so lonesome they could cry

Breeding season. We have a certain window that has, over the years attracted Tufted Titmouse, bluebirds, mocking birds, cardinals and summer tanagers to stand and fight their reflection.

I had a dove trying to evade a hawk fly into my window and die recently.

We’ve had several robins, only in spring, attack our windows. I think that during breeding season the males see their reflection and think it’s a competing male, and they attack.

One year it was so bad we had to tape newspaper over a big window for a week or so.

Had to takeout a Tufted Titmouse one year because he wouldn't quit flying into my bathroom window.

FAFO.

We have a window on our stairway, with a tall tree next to it. Every spring we have a new male cardinal that fights himself at daybreak. Pretty annoying when trying to drink my coffee. i usually break out my shotgun and end the fight. Next year will bring a new contender.
