Hi Cotty,
Isn't that a starling? Blackbirds are more or less solid black or
charcoal grey.
Starlings build nests in eaves. Blackbirds build them in the low
branches of
spruce and pine, or other trees if those aren't available.

Excellent! There's a hint of oversharpening but the overall look is
great.
I don't really care much what camera made the exposure... ;-)

I try not to post non-Pentax pics here, but I thought some of the
twitchers here might like to see this. A nest of Blackbird chicks
resides just inside the roof of our house and the mother flutters to and
fro bringing food and taking out the garbage (old feathers). I found a
very close vantage point trough my son's window. Here she is filling the
frame, just about to dart up under the wooden eaves...
