Bird Watching: Am I Going To Be a Bird Daddy?, 1 by Amargia

Thanks. I would not have thought of a cow bird. They are such large birds, and the egg I found is about the size of a penny at its longest point. I found some photos online. It certainly looks like one.

In that case, I will not put it into my workshop buddy's nest. I did not finish the house, before she laid her eggs. I would have tried to move the nest itself into the birdhouse, but not with eggs in it. I read that the foster siblings of adopted cow birds do not always fare well. They can't compete with the fast growing, always hungry cow bird their Momma adopted.

The eggs in the workshop nest are smaller and marked differently from the one I found. After some research, Carolina wren is my best guess where Momma is concerned. Thought I would try to learn more about her since it appears we will be sharing the workshop this year.
