Vacher à tête brune juvénile / Juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird

Vacher à tête brune juvénile / Juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird by Eric Bégin.
This one was fed by a Song Sparrow.
As you may know, the Brown-headed Cowbird bird is a brood parasite: it lays its eggs in the nests of other small passerines (perching birds), particularly those that build cup-like nests. The young cowbird is fed by the host parents at the expense of their own young.

Celui-ci était alimenté par un Bruant chanteur.
Comme vous le savez peut-être, le Vacher à tête brune est un parasite des nichées: Il pond ses œufs dans les nids d'autres petits passereaux (oiseaux percheurs), en particulier ceux qui construisent des nids en forme de coupe. L’oisillon Vacher à tête brune est nourri par les parents hôtes au détriment de la progéniture des hôtes

A nice capture of this bird. I have the adults here but have yet to see them being nursed by another breed. I know they do that though. Nice info with this very nice image.
