A few years a cardinal was nesting in a huge cross outside a window in our church.  Once in awhile (s)he would attack the reflection.  (To some a welcome distraction during the sermon.)

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: The first robin of spring and she's not happy

This is off topic, in a big way.

This entire week in the morning, we have been having a robin attempt to get into our house.

This is not a robin that accidentaly hits the window, is stunned and flies away.  She tries repeatedly to get through door wall (glass door).  The robin flies up to the window, and keeps trying.   At times, she will even hang on the screen.

The robin has tried several windows, door wall, kitchen and even the bathroom which has privacy glass (not see through).

  We found out from the neighbor, that this bird is making the rounds in the neighborhood.

  In all my years, I have never seen a bird act like this.  Judging from her size, I presume she is pregnant.

  Are there any Avian experts out there?
