My parents have a male Common Yellowthroat that is repeatedly trying to get
in through (or attack) a glass window that does not open and has no screen.
It has tried this behaviour on two separate occasions, the latest is still
ongoing. I'd say he's been at it for about two hours now with minimal
interruption. A female has been spotted within 30 feet of where this is
going on. His pattern is to perch on a branch that is touching or nearly
touching the window (the plant is a wayfaring tree if I have the name
correct) and then hover for 2 to 3 seconds will trying to push into the
window. I wouldn't say he is trying to stab at his reflection or is acting
overly aggressive. Any ideas as to what he's up to? He doesn't seem to be
hurting himself - should we pull the blind to camouflage the window's
transparency?
