A pair has built a nest in the patio cover above the door. We think he might be seeing his reflection on the glass and defending the nest from the "other" bird. He does it for like 15 minutes at a time, off and on for a number of hours.

Might be seeing its reflection and thinking it's a rival.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
