 There is a funny story behind this one. Every morning for about a week this female bluebird could see her reflection in the window and would fight with it by ramming the window over and over. She eventually injured one wing and slowed down for a day or two after that. This is a crop from one pane of my window. It was difficult to get a shot because she was so fast.
