Brown-headed Cowbird becomes species # 100 in our birding circle this winter



Two B-h COWBIRDS were observed by Christine Trudeau on January 3 at a feeder on Calypso Rd near Bertrand Rd near Larose Forest. Under mail box, in front of residence is a yellow sign with the picture of a turkey. Cowbirds can be and should be observed from the road ONLY. Thanks!
