A male Brown-Headed Cowbird among the blossoms. Rather obvious as to how it got it's name me thinks. A species that is a prime example of the how different the plummage colors can be between sexes. Of interest is the fact these birds are "vagabonds", depositing their eggs in the nests of other species and moving on ... leaving the rearing of the young cowbirds to some unlucky foster parents. Talk about having your cake and eating it too ...
