[SBB] juvenile Brown-headed Cowbirds

[Janna Pauser <[[email protected]]>]

Today I heard the distinctive call of a juvenile BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD 
begging. In the backyard I found a juv.cowbird perched on the 
birdbath. In a few moments a first year male HOODED ORIOLE fed the 
begging bird. This is the third such feeding by male Hooded Orioles 
I've seen this week. Last saturday a male HOOR was seen feeding 
juv.cowbird north of Camden on the Alamitos Creek trail. A few days 
later a first year male HOOR seen feeding juv. cowbird near Lake 
Almaden. Several weeks ago I saw a SONG SPARROW on the east side of 
Lake Almaden feeding three juv. B.H. Cowbirds!!! Also CAL.TOWHEE seen 
feeding juv. cowbird on the west side of Lake Almaden near the 
rangers headquarters recently.

This morning the Wild Bird Center group thoroughly enjoyed seeing 
nine BURROWING OWLS at Shoreline. A nearby Coopers Hawk kept them 
alert and expressive.

                               ***************
Yesterday the WESTERN SCREECH OWL was back in its tree cavity near 
the YSI in Alum Rock Park.
