Through the Park Office window, a red bird was seen over on driver's side mirror of car!!....
Now it's pecking the glass!!!...
Went outside and saw it's a summer tanager!...
Tried to solve the problem with paper and tape!....
Meanwhile, Mrs. T waited in the trees nearby.....
The male sat for a short while, too......
Here he comes again!!!......
But this is the passenger side!!!! He found another mirror!....
After this encounter, mirror was covered also....
Some of the staff was outside and Greg K. borrowed my camera, as the birds had flown to another area of parked cars!!! Here's Summer T on a coworker's car mirror. Greg said he taught himself that there were mirrors on both sides and went to the other one, too!!....
A year ago we had a nesting pair of these birds near where the small bus is parked. That male banged the bus mirrors! Some think it's the same one and if so, it's amazing that he's still functional!

I can see from a distance you would think it was a cardinal. I better start looking at my cardinal more carefully.
