Cowbird

[DEADEYE DICK]

I have always called these Cowbirds.If I am wrong could someone please correct me?

Boy,I got lucky here.I heard a bunch of screaming behind me and to my left,saw what was going to happen and threw the camera up.

Right place at the right time.

I took a picture of mom flying away but It was all blurry,which kinda ticked me off cuz it would have been the perfect ending to this series.
Oh well, hope you enjoyed it

The bill is too long for a Cowbird, the tail is too long and and the bird looks too big for a Cowbird.. I believe that it is a female Boat-tailed Grackle..

Grackles

I was going to say a grackle myself too. The one that I know of cow birds were the ones that fly behind my bushhog when I am cutting my pasture. :toothy10:

I do believe that most cowbirds are migratory. As in the brown head cowbird that destroys crops in the midwest and can reak havoc on dove fields here.

I call them all McDonalds french fry birds.
