Backyard Science

We have a local robin that loves windows. Every day the robin is around and spends 50% of its time flying repeatedly into windows. House windows, car windows, doors, you name it. Many birds fly into windows but that is becuase they don't see it. This bird seems to know the windows are there. Is it looking for a mate?
