Why is that cardinal knocking on my window?

lbelle

I have a bird feeder outside a large window facing south. This one particular cardinal keeps peeking into my house. Now he is pecking at the window as if he's trying to tell me something. Any ideas? I don't think it's because of a reflection, but maybe he sees something I don't?

    Plastic owl worked for one window. Cardinal simply moved to other side of house where there are 4 other windows for him to peck at. I bought another owl today. Hopefully that will cover those windows.

    Hawk cutout in window did not stop him. Neither did white curtains. So far the only thing that stopped it on the one window was the plastic owl.

    Hope that helps. I know I almost went insane with the stupid "bird brain". (That and the coons that keep digging up our flowers and terrorizing us in other ways!)
