Last evening on our tray feeder and below it, on Whidbey Island, we had a minimum of 30 cowbirds show up to feed. Previously had only seen a couple at a time. Mixed male and females but probably 75% males. My first thought was "none of our songbirds have a chance for just their own eggs." Do any of you have thoughts on if a flock like this is just passing through, or if it disperses locally, or do they stay in a flock like this locally? Thanks.
