Looks like it's got a Cowbird chick!

Resin

Oh my! That could be a classic adoptee! Or and example of "Unconditional love" I just love it!

oh no! that explains why there was only one bird in the nest. good eye, resin. i dread telling my sister though.....lol

Don't tell her, she does not need to know!

she laughed when i told her...she already had figured it out! they had a hard rain one afternoon and it fell out of the nest. she dutifully put it back in and the parents continued to feed and raise it. all that for a Cowbird!

All that for the love of nature! I love it.

I care about native birds, but I think I might have let nature have its way in this case.

We had a female cowbird intently looking down into nests from the power pole today. One of my children gave her a fright I am sure she won't forget.
