Seems my first impression was correct; he was seeing his reflection. As a
result, I took Bizbee's suggestion and taped a picture of a cat facing out
the window. It worked wonders! The pecking stopped ten minutes after I put
the picture up.

He discovered that pesky rival's in another part of his yard; all over my
Weber Kettle -- top, bottom, sides. That damned stupid bird is dulling his
beak against the black gloss finish. Well, I'm happy he's happy; we're both
