Birds

Glanced out the window by the computer this morning while I checked my email before work and saw some birds I thought to be crows. There was a murder of them under the dogwood, chasing bugs. Their heads threw me off... bodies were black but some of the heads were brown. I took them to be the males, because some of them were brown (probably females). No ordinary crows...because the crows that do stop by usually raid my birdfeeders... these didn't.

So I pulled down my handy dandy birder book and discovered they were "Brown-headed Cowbirds."

Can we say... Bird article for Sept's mag?
