Brown headed Cow-birds are showing off....At times they seem to be looking up in the air as if they are looking for something.... Maybe the sky is falling???I did a little reading on them and found out they like to lay their eggs in someone elses nest so they don't have to sit and hatch them..Sometimes it works...

That's quite a show he's putting on. I think it looks like he's trying to charm the ladies. Wink

Sherry what a great series of photographs. I wonder if he was successful in impressing the females enough for them to mate with him?

Great pics of nature in action. I hope they were successful in finding a mate. Thanks for sharing.
