I’ve seen robins, cardinals and mockingbirds attack car mirrors but never this!

Last Thursday waterwarbler captured video and photos of a prothonotary warbler fighting with his own reflection in DuPage County, Illinois.  Check out this video.

And here is an embedded photo from the bird’s perspective: “Suddenly lots of PROWs“.   No wonder the bird is confused.

p.s. “PROW” is the four-letter code for prothonotary warbler.
