Cathy and O, thanks for responding to my query and identifying the bird. Thanks once again.

Too small for a Brown Thrasher,and beak is too small too.It looks to be a baby Wood thrush,or a Hermit,Swainson's,or Gray cheeked.They like hanging around on the ground.Its markings will change a bit,and the corners of its beak on the sides will disappear.Robins are in the Thrush family,and you can see it looks alot like a baby Robin.

It's a male barn swallow. They're delightful birds. We had them nesting on the porch soffit when we lived on the base. They built nests balanced on planter hooks on the porch ceiling. I solved the mess problem by hanging baskets of geraniums from each hook. The chicks droppings went into the planter, fed the plants, and the porch was kept clean. You can also place a 12" square of cardboard on the area under their nest. The mess tends to cover a very small area. After they're through nesting, throw the cardboard in the trash or compost bin. This isn't the greatest photo, but it's the only one I could find quickly. The rod under the nest is a 12" hanging hook. The geraniums hang from the end of it. There were five chicks in this nest. One was camera shy. And these are the flowers that thrived directly under them.

What is going on with that lower left leaf? Looks like it has 2 mushy spots.
