Brown-headed Cowbirds are brood parasites. They do not build a nest,
but lay their eggs in other bird's nest, mostly warblers and vireos.
Ornithologists believe that this is an adaptation from the time when
cowbirds followed buffalo herds. They didn't stay in one place long
enough to build a nest and incubate eggs. We have many cowbirds here.
