Unfriendly Neighbors

I came home from Brazil last month to some new neighbors.
We've spent the past month scaring each other as I walk in and out of my front door. Unfortunately, my front door also doubles as my only door.
Every morning the screen door swings and wings flutter frantically. Both of us mutter under our breath about the other. I'm sure that the robins have been complaining about my arrival... from their perspective they were there first.
This week's variation has included the parents dive bombing me as I try to unlock and lock my door. And the mutter has turned into angry yelled insults. Robins are vocal and protective birds.

Not to mention messy... my porch is gross! Bless the mailman's heart for putting my package right under their nest.
