Orange-crowned Warbler OCWA (Oreothlypis celata)
West Saanich Road
Brentwood Bay BC
DSCN3164
This male has been interacting in a territorial dispute with his reflection at the window feeder for over a week.
He pretends to feed and picks at imaginary items on the branches before flying at the "intruder"
Though a common species in our area...feeder visiting is not a regular thing.
only one other year, in over 20 years here,have i ever had another OCWA display and and defend against its reflection.
