With much amusement, I have been watching a Cardinal in our parking lot this week. He has been busy defending his territory from other intruding males, that he sees in the mirrors attached to car doors. It is a good thing we have warm weather as he is burning up a lot of energy in battles with his reflection. Otherwise, I think he would be too exhausted to survive the cold nights. Or maybe he just has a super big ego and likes to see himself perform in front of mirrors.
