This species is (in)famous for not raising its own young. Instead, the females (this is a male) lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and let other birds raise their young. The young of the host species often do not survive because the cowbird baby is bigger and demands all the food. A pretty bird, though.
Interesting to read that there is another bird that does this - had heard about the Cowbird - you learn so much here on 365! Your shot is beautiful - the lighting wonderful.
Thanks for story as well.
