Too bad it fell down onto the driveway and I had to remove it! Mourning Dove -- nobody ever said they were smart! (at bottom, trapped itself). They like cracked corn but swallow sunflower seeds whole! Male Brown-headed Cowbird Female Brown-headed Cowbird Male and Female Brown-headed Cowbirds I think this is a juvenile Male Brown-headed Cowbird These birds don't bother building a nest or caring for their young. They just push another bird's egg out of its nest and deposit theirs as a replacement. The smaller "foster" parents feed and raise the intruder, no charge. It's recently been discovered that the female monitors the goings-on; if the host birds destroy their egg, the vengeful cowbird comes back (mafia-style) and destroys all of the host eggs. That'll teach them! Blue Jay (In the above two pics it had hit the picture window -- but recovered alright) (The above nine pics are of one who kept diving into the bay window -- over and over) American Robin Wild Turkey Home Page | Animals | Winter Scenes | BirdCam | Bird Index | Gallery: 1 3 4 Next Check back for photo updates!!!
