MooBird

I have seen a few Cowbird order the last couple weeks, but I have struggled to capture a good photograph.

I have talked about Brood parasites in the past. Nature ... its interesting how all forms of life find all kinds of ways to survive.

Gotcha

Sometimes I see a bird and find that I want the photo so bad .. then I follow the bird around for a while, trying to capture a photo. I think this Tufted Titmouse was just having fun with me, but I got the last laugh.

Great Tunes But Missing Feathers

I am fariliy certain that is a Song Sparrow. Another great music maker.

From Wikipedia:

The sparrow species derives its name from its colorful repertoire of songs. Enthusiasts report that one of the songs heard often in suburban locations closely resembles the opening four notes of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The male uses a fairly complex song to declare ownership of its territory and attract females.

Who knew. As for this particular bird, I am not sure what happed to her tail feathers.

The Details

I shared a photo of a female Red-winged Blackbird a few days ago. Since then, I have been trying to get a better photo of one. This is that photo. I love how much color and detail there is in this shot. It may be the best photo I have ever taken of one of these. She’s smaller than some that I have seen, but wow .. very cool.
