This bird has been flying into my window about a month now. Based on everyone else's comments, I guess it's a habit. Maybe they're attacking their own reflection.

We just saw this beautiful bird foraging on the ground, west side of Grenada before sunset which is usually dominated by doves and bananaquit melodies!

This bird is a bit territorial and chances are that they may be attacking their reflection. They are survivors, omnivorous.
