I retreated indoors, plopped down in a chair and listened to a caller tell me of a Wild Turkey terrorizing a walk-in basement window this spring. An American Goldfinch is currently battling with my office window. The goldfinch fights politely, to my estimation. A Chipping Sparrow had a brief tussle with the glass earlier. There were no skirmishes featuring cardinals or robins this year. A Great Crested Flycatcher was the year’s marathon brawler. It fought various windows of the house for several weeks. I worried it was ignoring important bird duties. It didn’t reach terminal velocity while striving for world domination, but the flycatcher walloped its reflection. Its attacks have ground to a halt.</div><br><div dir="ltr">Al Batt<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span></font></div></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 17.33333396911621px;">Freeborn County</span></div></body></html>
