Shot 2 cowbirds near feeding station

Caretaker's note: The Brown Headed Cowbird has adapted to predate on songbird nests. The female lays its eggs in another birds nest. She often kicks out the hosts eggs. The Cowbird nestling is larger and demands more constant feeding and care from the host parent. The original nestlings suffer from neglect. Shooting Cowbirds is the recommended method to protect songbirds. Extreme care is used to correctly identify this species.
