[TN-Bird] Comical crows imaging away!!

Yesterday morning from 10-11 AM, I attended a meeting in the 6th floor 
"solarium" meeting room of the Hampton Inn--Green Hills here in Nashville.  
Just as 
the meeting began, a crow found its way to the tinted glass ceiling of the 
room, where, upon seeing its own image, it began pecking away at its 
"adversary." 
 At first, it caused a titter of laughter among the group at the meeting, but 
then some of the crow's "friends" came along and began "fighting their 
adversaries" as well.  Most flew away, but one persistent crow kept coming 
back.  It 
kept its act going as competition to the speaker at the meeting who got a 
nice laugh when he referred to the crow as having been sent as a representative 
of the competition to the speaker's cause.  There were about 5 or 6 crows 
involved from time to time.  They'd fly away then come back around, land on the 
roof and attack their own images.  So much for massive glass structures.  I 
used 
to have an eastern kingbird that imaged yearly on the big plate glass window 
of the library where I worked out north of Nashville.  That poor bird used to 
"fight himself" all day long during mating season.

Cheers & prayers,
