"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.

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. But they go at it from dawn until dusk.
