Description
Cowbirds earned their common name from the habit of following herds of buffalo (and cattle) in search of the insects that were flushed up by the large grazing mammals. The plumage of the male brown-headed cowbird is mostly glossy black with a contrasting dark brown head, females are dull grayish brown, juveniles are brown overall with a scaly-looking back and streaked underparts. Taken in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The detail in this photo is almost overwhelming! Fantastic! I always say Cowbirds are the only "foster children" in the bird world. The female lays her eggs in other birds' nests and then moves on. The eggs are incubated and the babies are raised by the likes of sparrows, etc.
