Description
This is a brown-headed cowbird, a stocky parasitic blackbird that does not build its own nest. In the summer females put all their energy into producing eggs which they lay in the nests of other birds, leaving foster parents to raise their young, usually at the expense of at least some of the host’s own chicks.
