What a great series...this will do for my evening smile...thanks. The right place at the right time....from the looks of all the seeds, you caught them at their supper table.

Thanks Cooper. Supper table? Ha, these cowbirds are here from dawn to dusk and give me a lot of smiles. They are quite friendly too.

Great action series Mitch.

Thanks Reyno. Their natual behavior played right into a funny sequence. I couldn't resist.

Great Pictures!

Thanks Joe, yes, female Cowbirds. I have 4 of them and 3 males that come to my yard daily. Always well behaved, never fight with the other birds.

Thanks Bob. The nose in the air thing is common with these guys. I think they are looking for predators, as they all do this, all the time. The females also show a lighter patch on the throat that becomes very apparent when they take this position, so it may also be some sort of display too.

Thanks Adi. It's surprising how much control the have over their feathers. They can puff up then go back to smooth in a second.

Thanks Clarsen, and fun to take them too.
