I am posting this on behalf of Danny Pickens, who photographed this immature cowbird on July 6 at the Mineola Nature Preserve, Wood County. Matt White, Brush Freeman and I have looked at the photos, available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77499099@N00/ There is some disagreement as to whether this is the expected Brown-headed Cowbird or if it could be an unprecedented Bronzed Cowbird, based primarily on bill shape and size. We welcome any thoughts on the issue.
