Morning Cowbird

This bird almost had me second‑guessing, because for a female Brown‑headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater), its plumage is unusually light. It may well be a younger bird.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

#Birders, attention please! #BIRDING DEBATE:
Is this a brown-headed #cowbird or a red-winged #blackbird?

Brood Parasitism in action, this evening:
A juvenile #BrownHeadedCowbird begs food from an adult #ChippingSparrow likely a third of its size. Brown-headed Cowbirds are obligate breed parasites; that is, their young only develop in the nests of other birds. Chances are this one grew up in the sparrow's nest from which it either out-competed or displaced the sparrow's own young. Once it fledged, the sparrow remains convinced the cowbird is its own young and continues to feed it.
