Monday evening at my home in Bellevue on the outskirts of Nashville
I was waiting for a hummingbird to make an appearance. In a nearby
bush I heard and then saw a large begging youngster. I watched for
a couple minutes and soon saw a CHIPPING SPARROW feed the BROWN-HEADED
COWBIRD youngster. I checked "The Birder's Handbook" and, sure enough,
found that CHIPPING SPARROWs are often cowbird hosts.
What other species have TNbirders seen this spring as cowbird
surrogate parents?
