Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater)

He wasn't on the farm this day
Eastern Adult Male
Length 7.5"  Wingspan 12"  Weight 1.5oz


Every guy needs a girl
but
she's being coy
Adult Eastern Female
Song - low gurgling notes followed by
thin, slurred whistles
Flight calls - tseee-teea or seeeeetiti


Then come the offspring
Seen June through September
Habitat for all: woods, edges, and open fields
