Description
A family of cowbirds including mother, father and baby bird, sitting in a hemlock tree waiting patiently for their turn at the bird feeder while baby sings a little song. Cowbirds belong to the genus Molothrus in the Icteridae family. They are considered to be parasitic birds as they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds (even much smaller birds) to be raised. They would regularly show up at my bird feeder year after year and could be quite greedy.
