Since we have no air conditioning (you don't really need it here), I often leave the back door open to let more of the breeze through. We're on the third floor, so I've never been concerned about strangers walking in uninvited and I always make sure to close it before I leave. So although we don't live in the nicest neighborhood, I've never thought twice about leaving it open.
However, I walked into my living room this afternoon and was surprised by the agitated flutterings of a pigeon who had been making himself comfortable.
"Hey!" I shouted at it in surprise, my voice echoing in our unfurnished living room, only serving to further irritate my feathery guest.
The pigeon swooped frantically around the room while I tried to sneak around it to open the front door to herd it out. I never made it to the door; it seems the pigeon did not feel welcome and he showed himself out the back door.

That is funny. I hope he didn't leave you any "gifts." By the way, I like your blog look. Very fun. It snowed today in the hills and I thought of you at the beach.
I'm glad to hear you escaped bird poop in your house...that would have been a yucky gift. (this is Karen)
I definitely checked - no surprise gifts. I'm not sure who was more startled, me or the pigeon
