I agree. It is a starling. They are smart birds, too.

Yep - starling. Quite assertive birds and excellent mimicks. This morning, one on the phone wire did chickadee followed by flicker calls!

I noticed there is a nest of them in my purple martin bird house. The martins don't use it. Never even seen one. So these new residents are welocome to call it home. It is pritty neat to see parrents come home. They dive fold there wings and fly into the hole. Now to get them to teach my homers to trap that way. No landing board would be needed.

Wouldn't that be awesome if pigeons could dive into a small hole so we don't have to worry about cats and hawks.
