In spite of the fact I find New Age Beliefs only minimally more palatable than christianity, somehow Cardy the Cardinal has become my Spirit Animal. #spiritanimal #newage #cardinal #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdwatcher #birdwatchers #dogwood #avian

I was at a client's house today and they are having the weirdest thing happen.

They have robins that are continually bashing themselves against their big windows. I mean, these birds just do it over and over and over and over again. And they're doing it so hard that they're leaving marks on the windows.

I got to witness this in person when I pulled up in their driveway.

What I was seeing in the windows when I was outside was the reflection of the trees, so I was wondering if the robins thought that there were trees there instead of windows?

But it's happening on both sides of the house and at all times of the day.

It is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, and it was pretty damned spooky.

Any #birdwatchers out there have a clue? The Internet wasn't helpful at all. The most logical explanation it had was... rabies. I'm like, what?

In recent years, Cardy the Cardinal has come to be my 'Spirit Animal,' although this old Fart doesn't really believe in such New Age crap. #cardinal #cardinals #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdwatcher #birdwatchers #red #songbird #nature #outdoors #outofdoors #spring
