    That's very strange. Are you sure she was striking and not just falling over or something?

    My guess would be that she may be hungry, or perhaps she saw her own reflection in the glass and it frightened her?

    sounds like fear or stress. There may have been a reflection or movement that got her attention.

    Yep.. I've had them strike at shadows before..Also if you walk by and they catch your heat signature they might take a swipe at that.
