Female Brown-headed Cowbird

Another new bird I haven't seen in my yard, very exciting to keep track of all the birds that stop by.

Thank you for stopping by.
Wow can't believe we are already in September!
It may be fun to see them but they're not so good for the song birds. They often lay their eggs in the other birds' nests. When the babies hatch they out-eat and push out the song bird babies. )o: It's a good shot though!

I had to look up the Cowbird as I was curious about why it's called a Cowbird. Because it hangs around Buffalo and cattle. Oh. Also found it the females do not build nests. They lay eggs in other birds nest then abandon the eggs leaving a different species of birds to hatch their eggs. Bad mothers. Also, if the other species of birds notices the Cowbirds eggs in their nest, they will build another nest over those eggs. What has this world come to!!

Lovely capture. The cowbird isn’t getting big points for its behaviour.
