Bird ID Confirmation...
I heard the cutest little sounds coming from my garden and I notice this mid sized bird chirping like a little baby.... then a little sparrow comes to the rescue!!
I'm assuming this is a baby cowbird, is that right??
I watched for a few minutes as the poor little mama kept on feeding her big baby, very touching to see.... nature is so beautiful!!!
Not the best images, but I just wanted to capture the moments...
Happy weekend!!
mama.... where are you???

What a wonderful series, very enjoyable.
Very cute.
Too bad the junior bird is a cow bird. I guess one can't fault the child for the parents indiscretions, but then the child grows up.
Terrific sequence - thanks for that delightful look at Nature in action!
What a precious series. Glad you could capture the entire event.
Thanks Cathy.... those poor little birds that get those surprise eggs.... I wonder what the daddy thinks?? lol!!
Glad you enjoyd, I got such a kick out of watching them and the baby was making such cute little sounds, but I think old enough to fend for himself!!

Thanks Jerry!! Timing is everything.....

A great story to accompany your interesting set, Angela. Birds always seem to take such good care of their young. I hope this little guy gets airborne before predators find him.

John, they were so much fun to watch and I give that little mama credit... she had such patience with him and he did fly a little, I think it was all an act that he wanted her to feed him!! We're lucky, not many predators where I live.
Glad you enjoyed the shots and their conversation!! LOL!!
