Brown-headed Cowbird - If you aren't looking for it, the brown head of these blackbirds are hard to see. They are found in many suburban areas including farms. This male and a flock of 5 or 6 other birds was found in the middle of Burnaby Lake Park out on Piper Spit. A notorious claim to fame for these birds are their cuckoo like parasitism of other song birds nests. Because of their expansion due to an increase in the cattle population, they have hurt some bird populations. It is always interesting to see a little warbler feeding a cowbird that is twice its size.   Michael Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
