Well done, Dolan; they can be quite attractive in their own right.

I thank you! I guess there is some beauty to be found in all of us, no matter how big of a pest we are! :D

These are really good shots. The background colors are beautiful.

Are these the same Cowbirds that lay their eggs in other birds nests? Such a lack of parenting skills!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

cowbirds are awesome at ridding us of ticks.

i look forward to a pair of them returning to my farm every year.

even though another bird raises their young for them. :)

Great photos, thanks for sharing!
