A male robin attacks its reflection in the bedroom window of a west Bend home early Wednesday. Robins will often attack reflections while trying to defend their territory during the spring nesting season, said Kevin Lair, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Bend. To stop them (and to get some sleep), block the reflection by placing paper, a towel or a sheet over the window, Lair said. The behavior will stop at the end of nesting season, he said.
