Please excuse this bad photo, it was snapped through my patio door some distance from the site.

I looked outside this morning and saw a bird enter one of my natural gourds with a Conley 2 entry & tunnel. I thought to myself, I may have my first scout returning.
But when I observed it leaving the gourd, I was dismayed that it was a starling that was squeezing in and out of the entry. I took a photo through my sliding patio door, and it's not of good quality.
I have many starlings checking out my site the past couple of weeks, and this is the first observation I have made that a starling has made it through a Conley 2. I am sure this is not the norm and I'll trap it today. But for some people who are wary of SREH's, if a small starling can get through, certainly a martin can.
