A member of our local Audubon Chapter has called me and reported that she has
been observing some rather peculiar behavior from a pair of Bushtits.

She says that they have been pecking at her window at all times of the day and
sometimes even at dusk (so she is ruling out the reflection theory).

She says that they seem to go to the same spot of the window and will continue
this activity for 10 to 20 minutes. There is a Weigelia bush very close to the
window that they are on during this exercise.

Anyone out there able to come up with a theory please let me know and I will
forward the answer?!? to her!

Thanks,
