A few from Sunday

I was out taking a couple of pictures of my house (see the duct tape thread ), and couldn't resist taking a few bird photos. Our grove is pretty thick in places, and I haven't figured out how to remove branches from the foreground yet. If anyone cares to share how they accomlish that, it would be great!

Brown-headed Cowbird?

Female Brown-headed Cowbird?

Looks like a cowbird to me. They have a very interesting call, which I enjoy a lot.

I looked up the cowbird online, and listened to their song. Definately a cowbird! We had a ton of these mixed in with the grackels and redwinged black birds yesterday.

I found cowbirds to be evil. They took over a nest set up by another pair of birds in our backyard last summer. Nice shots though.
