Now that nesting season is underway,
we will all see birds that we cannot identify for one or the other reason. As I said the other day, it feels like the female Brownheaded Cowbird is one of those “I don’t know what bird I just saw” ones. They are a bit bigger than a Cardinal, they don’t have the brown head like the males, they look intriguing because they are beautiful birds, and us birders are confused. Maybe this photo helps a bit with identification.
