ManSpace Invaders !!

The audacity of these feathered folk ! Invading my sacred ManSpace. Actually, it was fun to watch the nest building and all that followed. My PowerFist inspection mirror helped in the "nosing" process...Rockin Robin, tweet,tweet,tweet...Downside: I have to wait for them to leave before I can use my aluminum extension ladder, since it is supporting the nest :) (sorry dear, I can't fix that leaky roof right now).
