A female N. Cardinal is displaying odd behavior in my backyard.  The bird
flies from the roof of the gazebo to one of two 2nd floor window sills, then
jumps from the sill up into the window or sits there and pecks at the pane,
and then it flies back to the gazebo.    This behavior has occurred daily
since Thursday of last week.  One would think the bird would eventually
tire,  but it keeps up this repetitive activity throughout the day.   At
first the antics of the bird were amusing but now it has become annoying.
Any thoughts as to why this is occurring?
