Thanks Paul, Ken, Dan, Jack, Jostein and others... This tom is one of three young (18-24 month) bachelors who hang around our yard, steal from our bird feeders, roost in one of our trees. Two older larger toms come around occasionally and do their display thing. There was a small flock of hens, one of the younger ones had a brood of about 12 this spring; she and the young 'uns travel more widely through the neighborhood but often roost in the tree here as well. We occasionally see the other older hens. They all do make a mess with their droppings and scratching for food, and they do persistently bang on the floor-to-ceiling windows. I've tried yelling, chasing and yelling, and spraying with a high-pressure water hose. They know I am not really going to hurt them and they keep coming back...
