    Okay Hummer, here is another bird identification for you. The pictures are terrible because this bird is inconsiderate and built a dumb nest and put the eggs at the bottom.

    The bird is about 2/3 to 1/2 the size of a finch, looks similar, but with a beak about twice as long. It has a loud call that sounds more like an insect than a bird. Instead of a nice round nest full of padding, it just threw a ton of sticks into this bird house and chucked some eggs at the bottom. The eggs are about the size of my pinky and are a redish swirl color over a tan/white base. Seems to co-exist with the 100's of finches living at my and my neighbor's house. I'll attempt to get a photo later which hopefully isn't too difficult since I see this bird every day out my window. What do you think?
