Chipping Sparrow with Brown-headed Cowbird Offspring

Offspring

9 June 2013

     For the second year in a row a Chipping Sparrow is feeding a gargantuan Brown-headed Cowbird in our yard. The appetite of this young bird seems to be inexhaustible and the host parent is kept busy feeding it. We almost feel exhausted just watching it!
