I had the opportunity to watch the outcome of an instance of nest parasitism in my backyard a couple of days ago. It seems like every year I have a Chipping Sparrow raising a Brown-headed Cowbird. It's the only species I've found being taken advantage of around my place. I posted a little selection of photos of the birds interacting.

It looks like southbound migration is starting to ramp up as some species are already grouping into flocks.

Good Birding,
