Cowbird chick and its adoptive Dark-Eyed Junco Father

This dad has two Cowbird chicks to feed.
This is the second year I've recorded a Dark-Eyed Junco caring for these brood parasitic birds.

Belle prise de famille ( v )

Great capture amd I also think they may be cowbirds. Dad doesn't seem to mind though.

Hi Bryan,
Terrific character shot! It looks like the dad is handing out advice. \/

Great capture Bryan! Dad's losing weight running back and forth feeding the kids!

Interesting find Bryan! Excellent job on this one Bryan! ~

Nice capture Bryan, but I don't think junior is ever going to look like Dad. It's probably a plant that the Junco's are now raising. Maybe a Cowbird?

Nice capture.

Cute shot.

What a great capture! However, does that baby really belong to the Junco??? Or is it maybe an adopted chick? Either way, this is a very interesting photo.
Marco Valk28-Jul-2009 17:32

January has it, Bryan! There Cowbirds and that little Junco is working his or her butte off feeding them.
January Grey28-Jul-2009 04:36
hmmm maybe they're little Cowbirds? Daddy's got a big job to do, feeding babies bigger than he is! A terrific catch, Bryan! V~
