The virtues of the Brown-headed Cowbird are always up for debate among North American birders, but one has to admire a native species that is successful--even at the expense of other native species. For some historical perspective on this promiscuous "social parasite," visit our "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay for 10-21 April 2007 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek070410.html .
We provide, as always, our banding results for the period, with info about two VERY old individuals we recaptured. There's also a follow-up photo on the impact of our big Easter freeze, plus other miscellaneous nature notes--including info about our first banded hummingbird of the season.
We're happy to respond to questions and comments via BirdForum.
Happy Nature Watching!
