Crazy Cardinal

We had a visitor for most of the summer and, while we thought he had moved on or gotten over his fascination with his own image, he showed up again last week! He has been enamored with our back door which is glass and the side mirrors on our cars. Charlie set up this mirror for him on the porch in order to distract him. Have other people seen obsessive antics like this out of birds? We wish there was something we could do for the poor little fellow, we just hope he does not reproduce so as not to create another one like him!  We also listen for the lesson being offered through this beautiful bird with such annoying, to us, behavior.

Stand off

Perched for attack

Attack!
