My mom just emailed me with this description of some weird robin behavior. We were wondering if anyone has any ideas why she is doing this?
"I heard a persistant pounding noise. It sounded like someone hitting on a board just outside my bedroome window. there was a robin trying to fly into the window! It flew up about 6 to 12 inches and then out and back to the sill. My moving the curtains did not scare it. I had to put my hand right up to its face to scare it away! I figured all that thumping wasn't good for it. I made coffee and there was the noise again, but not in my bedroom, but in the guest room window, doing the same thing. I had to wave at it again as just opening shades and curtains did not startle it. It was the same robin - one of its tail feathers was turned up or out a bit and was white. It's mate was close by in the tree but didn't do that. It kept coming back to those windows at least a dozen times, even when I was at the computer!! What do you think it was doing?" We're both curious and I thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas... Jenn
