We're on holiday at Kahana, Maui.

Each morning we're entertained by a Red-crested Cardinal interacting with
the door mirrors in the parking lot. Evidently frustrated by the lack of
desired reaction by the bird in one mirror, it moves on to the next car
where it seems to know another bird is waiting. Each of the birds it
encounters occupies an impenetrable space, which perhaps is the most
frustrating thing of all.
