    That is weird. Most of the birds, as either female or juvenile have some sort of stripping/pattern on them.

    I think you are right with female cowbird.

    My wife loves watching the hummers, she has a ton of them trained to visit her feeders every day. This one is always on the roost when I leave home from work in the early AM, being greedy and guarding the feeder on the front porch from his relatives lol....

    Do you see them often? Rather common to see around here with all the wooded areas.

    Turkeys are surprisingly smart and resourceful birds

    I saw these chainsaw birdhouses on Facebook Marketplace for $45. Pretty good idea and design.
