Possibly a Starling or maybe a Wren. See if you can get a picture of her. European Starlings are NOTORIOUS for building nests in mailboxes.

You might want to replace your mailman with this little lady--at least she didn't leave you any bills!! \:\)

Is that a hole in the center where shes climbing in & out? If so I'd go with a wren. I never saw a starling nest with a teeny hole like that.{unless what i see isnt a hole??}

tell the mail lady it is a federal offense to remove a wild birds nest
Can you put a second mailbox next to the one with the nest?
