Last evening I heard a baby bird being fed. Some Golden-crowned Kinglets were calling in the tree. I looked up and followed them to the baby, a cowbird several times their size. They were working really hard to keep it fed.

I looked the kinglets up in my Birds of British Columbia which stated that of 22 nests reported there, 3 had cowbird eggs in them.
