New Alarm Clock

[dennysfishroom]

I was awakened this morning by repeated "thunks" as a bird kept trying to fly into our window. My first inclination was that it was a cardinal (bright red), but as I looked closer, it was evident it wasn't a cardinal. It looks like it may have been a Summer Tananger. Before we had moved down here permanently, I was sitting next to the window and heard a "thunk". I didn't realize until I went outside that another Tananger had flown into the window and broke his neck. I can't remember if that was a Summer or a Scarlet Tananger. Those are the only 2 Tanangers I've seen since we've been here. Denny

What do think was behind that behavior? Is the room a particular color? They see threir reflection and think it's another tanager?

They could smell those Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Well, they were at it again this morning. Fortunately, they only started about 5-10 minutes earlier than I normally get up. So far I've only gotten one picture of them, and it's still in the camera, so I don't know for sure if it's any good. Denny

are they chasing insects into the window? I had to google those to even see what they were. Looks like they do not come as far West as I am and after reading their typical habitat, they wouldn't like it here anyways since we are mostly flat farmland.. Kyle
