Nice shots Jim. I wonder who get's the mystery egg this year? Last year, it fell to one of my Chipping Sparrows, which was very sad to see. The smaller birds work themselves to death feeding those Baby Hueys.

Thanks...

Yea, that parasitic nesting causes a lot of ill will towards the cowbird.. But it is a natural thing.

Good captures Jim.

If it's not against your principles you might trying cloning out the blade of grass "sticking" out of the head of the cowbird.
