Brown-Headed Cowbird
The Black-Capped Chickadee, a small bird known for its black crown or “cap” on its head, can be found in parts of Canada and the United States.
The male and female Black-Capped Chickadee look very much alike, with their trademark black cap, a black bib, and white cheeks.
| Nesting Habits of the Brown-Headed Cowbird
The female does not build her own nest. Instead, she waits until another bird temporarily leaves its nest of eggs, then she places her eggs in the nest with the other eggs.
When the other bird returns to its nest, it will sit on all of the eggs, unaware that some do not belong there! Not only will the other bird incubate the eggs, it will also raise the young as its own until they are ready to leave the nest!
