found at loxahatchee in the marsh trail parking lot he was really into himself and wouldn't leave his reflection alone... people aren't the only things birdwatching there.

Would love to get some beautiful photos like these. My car is constantly bombarded by many different bird species, but I'm never quick enough with my camera.
oh yah
Your first photo is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Nice capture.
Good idea Cynthia, I'll block the reflective surface next time!
It is almost always a male bird that does this kind of obsessive pecking at his own refection. They can spend hours at it, even continuing on successive days. They use windows, mirrors, hubcaps, bottles, just about anything that will give a refection. I can't decide if it is a male aggression behavior or a kind of avian homosexuality.
too funny
So cute!
