"If I see him again, I'll kill him," he thinks.

Yesterday two American robins began a day-long battle with their enemies — the birds in the mirror.

"I've got you now! You can't get away!"

One of them is particularly upset about the evil robin inside the passenger-side mirror on my Jeep Liberty.

I think the overcast weather made the windows more mirror-like. Screens are on the inside.

The other one has a bigger challenge. He keeps seeing enemies in the casement (crank-out) living room windows. "Death to you! And to you!"

You try to eat breakfast and there is this frantic shape flapping around outside.

The funny thing is that they do not fight each other — real live opponents.

I assume that this activity is springtime hormone-related and should abate soon.
