From today at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary. I didn't see any of the larger birds that are supposed to be migrating at the moment, apparently it was a lot busier earlier this week. I did still catch a few pretty birds though.

More feeder birds. Read ALT descriptions for details. The next 3 days are supposed to be stormy and rainy, so there will be more birds coming to the feeders. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast #woodpeckers #grosbeaks #cowbirds

Why Doesn’t Fewer Cowbirds Mean Less Nest Parasitism? https://wilsonsociety.org/2024/02/07/guest-post-why-doesnt-fewer-cowbirds-mean-less-nest-parasitism/

"When #cowbird abundance declines, such as is occurring in the #OkanaganValley and throughout much of North America, a sort of 'competitive release' could occur, where individual female #cowbirds may be free to maintain larger egg-laying territories and to parasitize more nests."

Brown-headed Cowbird abundance has decreased by about 30% across North America since 1966.

I don't know if it's because I'm outside at different times of the day or if there really are more #cowbirds here. I'm not used to seeing them. #Birds
