St. Lucie Audubon Society


 Birds seem attracted by mirrors, as is this Northern Cardinal photographed this spring by Elsa Millard. Northern Mockingbirds also commonly display this trait. If the birds are defecating on the car as they try to fight off rivals, putting a sock over the mirror will solve the problem.
