Brown Headed Cow Bird – Merritt Island – September 2015
This handsome fella was part of a much larger flock.
I thought the bird will look like a cow… Hahaha! Just kidding! 🙂
But seriously, why was it called a cow bird?
They hang around animals in fields and eat the bugs that are stirred up by the larger animals. Today it’s cows mostly, in the past it was bison.
I guess they were called bison birds before… 🙂
