I heard the call of a Brown-headed cowbird in a wooded area next to my house today, 4/30/2011. I didn't see it, but I know it's there. I'm not particularly overjoyed about this, because these birds are a parasite on other species, the welfare bums of the bird world. They aren't hard to look at, however, so I'll post some pictures of them this summer sometime.
Tomorrow I'll go to Talin market, pick up some quail eggs and make some nests in hopes I can get the cowbirds to replace those eggs instead of the eggs of the birds that live around my house. I'll post pictures of everything I do, and will let you know if I am successful.
