Today I kept hearing this sound as if something was tapping on our front living room window. When it continued and I finally got a chance to check it out I noticed that there was a Robin who was continuously flying at the window. He would take breaks and land on the lilac branch right outside the window and then do it again over and over. When I went into the living room he noticed me and perched himself on the branch and just looked at me. Then as if I was in some sort of Disney movie he opened and closed his mouth as if he was talking and he just stared right at me. He did not care that I was standing just a foot away from him with only glass to separate us. I went about my cleaning and I would catch him looking at me through the window at various times during the day. When I asked Tim to approach carefully and see this bird he flew away at the sight of Tim. I did see him again just as it was getting dark, it was raining and he just sat there and starred. I felt like he was trying to tell me something. Do birds typically stay out in the rain? Do they obsessively fly into windows over and over?
I have noticed at various times in my life that birds seem to be attracted to me for some reason. I have had a Raven follow me while cross country skiing by myself at Sun Peaks. I have had a Parrot flirt with me and show off. Crows and other small birds seem to be okay with me walking dangerously close to them.
What is this connection I seem to have with birds? I hope someday I find out.

What could he be telling me?

Ok well after writing that post I Googled "Robin Window" and found out that Robin's do this because they see their reflections and get territorial...see http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/robin/WindowBonk.html but that does not explain his fearlessness for me and how could he see his reflection in the rain?
