Description
Best viewed large! I am getting new visitors to my bird feeder. This cowbird looked menacing at first. It took me awhile to capture a decent photo because he is so dark. This is not the best lighting either. Wikipedia has interesting facts about the eggs of these cowbirds. They lay their eggs in other birds nests. More than 140 different species of birds are known to have raised young cowbirds. I hope I don't have fights between my other birds species that are coming around. The brown thrashers physically eject the eggs from their nests. I have brown thrashers around here. I took this photo on April 12, 2018, Temple, GA (USA).
