A short time ago I was walking through my front yard and heard the begging call of a youngster. I then saw a female Red-winged Blackbird flying toward a perched Bronzed Cowbird and feeding it. The Bronzed Cowbird was already adult size. I watched it munch on the orchid plant that is growing on the Queen Palm. The bird had a large growth on the base of its upper mandible. Interesting sight!
