This is a picture of the bird I feel is responsible for breaking the blue bird eggs. She had been in and out of the box while the blue birds were still residents. I suppose the alien bird won the box. After I cleaned out the broken egg, and cleaned-out the box, she moved in to build her own nest.
Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? She's brown with yellow belly and has a crest on her head. She's as big as a cardinal.
