I was watching Randall's webcam and a starling got inside the gourd. :( Dirty scumbeak!

Dang nabit. It is a SREH opening, and it faces away from my back porch so I will have to pop him when he is checking out other gourds or standing on top of the rack like he owns the place. I will be home and on guard most of the weekend so I will keep you posted. Thank you for the heads up.

Oh, the SWEET sound of martins on your gourd cam site this morning. Sounds like it's windy and raining too!
