The male cardinal must think he is chasing away a rival male cardinal. You might want to put something over the window to cut out the reflection he is seeing. He could knock himself unconscious by continuing to bang into your glass window. I watched a hummingbird do that once and picked him up, holding him gently in my hand until he revived and decided to fly away. Some birds have killed themselves flying into windows. In NYC, that happens to lots of birds flying into the glass skyscrapers. What an interesting story! The male cardinal must think he is chasing away a rival male cardinal.
