We had the same problem with a robin.  It was gathering twigs for a nest
from the eaves trough that runs immediately above the window.  It insisted
on coming up from below so it could grab the twigs with its beak (no
concept of landing then bending over, I guess).  In the process, it
smashed its wings and legs against the window every time.
