I wonder if it isn't territorial and most birds will do it . I have one song 
sparrow here going at its reflection in the neighbours window.  A few years 
ago we had a mocking bird having a go at the reflection (at least that is 
what we thought it was attacking)  truck. Does a nasty job one the cars 
paint job. Needs to be washed off right away, I am told.
Anyone have a crow trying to pull off window wipes?
