Thanks Guys! I just talked to My Dad and he said he thinks its a Catbird. Any chance it could be that?

 

[clermont]

I don't think so.

Looks like a cowbird, not a catbird. Catbirds are gray and have a tuft of rust/red feather under their tails. Beak is also different. Nice pics though.

Definitely not a catbird

This website had some pretty good data as well...I use it to help with learning the bird calls.

Cowbird.They don't make a nest.The female lays her egg in another birds nest.When it hatches,it kicks till all other eggs/chicks are booted out.It then gets ALL the food.
