Brown-headed Cowbird

Those with siblings know: you don’t always get along, especially when you are younger. Maybe they won’t let you play with their new toy. Perhaps they took the last popsicle in the freezer. The Brown-headed Cowbird takes it to another level.

Blue Jays, with their quirky attributes, are quite a fun bird to observe and get to know. They can be found year round at Faville Grove, often seen in oak woodlands or savannas like the Lake Mills Ledge.
