San Francisco or West Hollywood, would be a good place to start the search. They should not be hard to find.

Were these Teslas?

And was it Woody Woodpecker? I hear he’s an instigator.

It’s the bluebirds where we live. They sit there and peck at the mirror and poop a lot. LOL

The very definition of Bird brained.

At first the car owner thought her husband may have done it.
Really? Just when did your husband stop smashing car mirrors before this?

Song Sparrows, here, in coastal Oregon. There was a Northern Flicker, years ago, that used a parabolic microwave antenna to broadcast its drumming. Very impressive.

Should have known that the woodpecker was a male.

Darn. My first thought was to market a bag to go over the mirror and make millions. “The Pecker Protector!”. But yeah - a sock is a good idea. (Heh - cross-country ski racing wearing the thin suits we would had put a sock in our undewear when it got real cold).

Put a plastic bag over the mirror with a bungee cord to hold it when parked. That will screw up the reflection sufficiently the bird will leave it alone.

I’ve had Cardinals ‘fight’ with my truck mirrors, but there was no breakage.

Woodpeckers have amazing beak strength!
