Birds of KY: Cowbird or Catbird? Vote is now Cowbird 4, Catbird 1 Comments re photo 54443 Birds of Kentucky: Identify this bird Several suggestions for the ID of the most recent Mystery-to-us Bird have arrived at Birds of Kentucky/CM World HQ Bird Editor's Desk. The preponderance now is for Cowbird. The latest update, is from John Halsey: Female Brown-Headed Cowbird. See Jon Halsey: The mystery bird is a cowbird Posted Sunday, April 20, 2014. Four bird enthusiasts agree it is a cowbird. One suggests it's a catbird. Ol Coddger says he's checked Merlin Bird ID and it appears to be a female Brown-Headed Cowbird, while Lori Bragg says, "It looks like a female Catbird." Wendy Burt, (aka Wendy Bird) says its a Cowbird. And she's backed up by a Russell County bird expert, DC - Dumetella Carolinensis, who writes, "Definitely a cowbird. The bill is too blunt, too heavy, and too short for a catbird." Cowbird or Catbird? We checked our "Second Highest Bird Authorities in America" at All-about birds/Brown Headed Cowbird and All-About Birds Gray Catbird and can't decide. Thanks Coddge and Lori, I'll try to listen for the songs and watch for the bird to show up again. If its a cowbird, it's has a dark side: It's a brood parasite bird. And if it's a catbird, Granny used to tell us they were mean birds, but I always liked them. Maybe a third opinion is needed. - EW This story was posted on 2014-04-19 06:43:15
