Narcissus is back!  I suppose that comment requires some explanation:  Narcissus is our name for a robin that lived in our backyard, and had a nest in the maple tree.  Sitting on the deck rail, this robin would see its nest reflected in the kitchen window, and promptly fly into it.  This morning a robin spent at least half an hour flying into my window, looking confused, hopping back a little ways, and doing it all over again.  Not the quickest learner I've ever seen, but a very entertaining way to be woken up in the morning.
