Kind of blackbirdish. <br /><br />Yes Guy, I read about how they lay their eggs in other birds nests. Being a large bird I can see how they could kill all the other hatchlings. It's kind of like Scotch Broom taking up all the environment from native plants.<br /><br />MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-80015796883344681002010-05-29T12:59:49.216-07:002010-05-29T12:59:49.216-07:00Very interesting, I've not seen this type of b...Very interesting, I've not seen this type of bird before.

They have spread over virtually the entire province, and are causing serious declines in some species. Cassin's Vireo, Yellow Warbler, and Chipping Sparrow are all declining because of brood parasitism from Brown-headed Cowbirds.Abu Ankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792748327982456764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-54021429491354327082010-05-29T06:08:55.862-07:002010-05-29T06:08:55.862-07:00I love their song.
