Mark, I was surprised at such behavior earlier this fall as well.
I live near Denver City Park, where one day last month I found a juniper tree with as many as 10 of them singing loudly, chasing each other in and out and around the tree, and generally raising a ruckus.
After checking Cornell's Birds of the World, I found out why:
Townsend's Solitaires, which breed in the high country and spend winter down here among us, are highly territorial in winter, seeking to protect berry-laden junipers and other food-source trees from other solitaires and, indeed, from other berry eaters like American Robins and Cedar Waxwings.
(I saw a Townsend's in City Park last month chasing individuals of both those species away from its territory near the Denver Museum of Nature + Science.)
It might be coincidental, but over here in east-central Denver, I'm seeing more of them this fall than ever before.
I counted 5 this morning in City Park, and yesterday a pair chased each other around a curbside maple tree outside my house just off East Colfax Avenue.
As for that mirror encounter you reported, I also saw one 10 days ago in the City Park West neighborhood about 3 blocks west of the park, flying repeatedly from the ground up into a front window of a house, trying to attack its own reflection.
So, it appears your Townsend's was behaving normally for this busy time.
Good birding,
