I just evicted a nestling Brown-headed Cowbird from the Carolina Wren
nest in a hanging flower basket. I estimate that the parasite was the
same size as an adult wren or just a bit bigger. Now there is 1 wren
nestling (looked very feeble...don't know if it will survive) and 1 egg
left in the nest. Anyone have any guidance on egg id...Cowbird vs.
Carolina Wren?
