ITS PART Of THE FUN BLILLETINS FROM BIRDLAND t WINiF'REl)il:.1VlLS4'.Q vic-rimzsn A great many birds, from the tiny. five inch Warblers to the eleven or twelve inch .Browp Thrashers, suffer from Cawhlrds. Not that the adults are injured by them. but they are victimized, hav- ing to nurse Cowhird children when this is apt to mean destruc- tion to their own. Mrs. Cowbird is no respccfer of persons, laying her eggs in any available home. No shape of nest. at any height is safe from intrusion, whether it be the open cup of a Savannah sparrow placed beside a branch of daisies, or the basket of a. Red- eyed Vireo hanging from s branch 26 feet from the ground. One, two, three. or even four cowblrd eggs may be placed there to be incu- bated. The alien eggs nearly always hatch first. Cowblrd babies have insatiable appetites, and snatch most of the food, grow quickly, and push the rightful owners from the nest. some householders. as the Vee- rys, give in easily, but Song spar- rows, Yellow-throals, and many. many other kinds of birds are too submissive. There are those that feel obliged to accept the foreign egg if they already have a family of their own, but when the unwel- come guest is found in their other- wise empty nest. they abandon the home. This is the plan or the Mourning Warbler, a species that until recently was seldom disturb- ed by Cowblrgis because its nest is always yo well hidden. For some unknown reason, Cow- birds deposit their eggs more fre- quently in the homes of Yellow Warbleis than those of any other bird. Few species are able actually to throw out the extra egg, though some manage to. But this little Warbler o ten displays unusual cleverness. t either abandons the site entirely, or builds another nest right. on top of the first one. Seemingly. the parasitic Cow- blrds are increasing. At one time they kept pretty much to grass- lands, where they followed the cattle sround, using only nests that could be reached conveniently from there. Now we are discovering their eggs in wooded country. More than once Phoebes nesting in shan- lles in a sugar bush have provided homes for young Cowbirds. Not even oven-birds escape, though their habitat is the mature forest.
