Walter's note re Carolina Wren feeding Cowbird reminded me,
while atlasing this past Sunday in Patapsco State Park upstream
from Ellicott City, noted a streaked bird following a pair of
Carolinas, that I suspected might be a juvenile Cowbird. I
just consulted Sibley, it was, indeed. So that's TWO instances
of Cowbirds parasitizing Carolina Wrens in one week!
The block was EC-SE, QB1. Alas, both species already
confirmed, and closed out for the Block.
