Bird has a home

My daughter picked the spot for this birdhouse and we have a resident. My photography skills ain't so good but wanted to share.

 

Clay, birds are very hard to photograph, so you did well. Your daughter is a budding ornithologist--keep encouraging her interest!

 

What marlingardener said. Well done to both of you!

 

Well done.
What kind of bird is that perched on the house?

 

Yes,, I couldn`t tell either ! I would guess a Starling !

 

That is so exciting and rewarding - I admire anyone that can create a home for a bird. Your daughter must be so tickled about her accomplishment

 

I been trying to figure out it doesn't look like starlings I seen photos of it looks more like a grey catbird but then again very hard to tell. I guess I need to get a better pic lol.

 

Lots of birds have made this area home way before I lived here. The robins always bring in spring with a bang .. literally as the windows seem to attract them.

 

I did see the bird in question on my garden fence this morning when I first got up. No camera in hand but it is definitely the Grey Catbird.
