THE TIRED COWBIRD
DOWNRIGHT LAZY IS THIS BLACK
HOBO OF THE ORIOLE TRIBE,
It Bullds No Nests of Its Own, but
hays Its Eggs in the Nests of Other
Birds mud Never Troubles Itself
About Rearing Its Young.
The cowbird was born so tired that if
he could compel any other bird to
gather his food for him he would do so,
but be cannot, so he scratches about all
day among the herds of cattle and
sheep and goes to roost at night in
great bands of hundreds of his rela
tives, always selecting a bushy tree,
such as a cypress, for a night's perch,
All up and down the Mississippl river
valley is the common summer home of
these birds, for only in the depth of
winter do they retreat to the war
mesas of Mexico, whither most of the
other birds have preceeded them. In
the spring following such a winter
they are the first to return, filling all
the new year alr with thelr chatter and
lining the barnyard trees
You must not think that glossy
black and brown plent
around southern California barnyards
during the winter months are cow-
birds, for they are not. They are call
ed “gracRles” and seem to be more like
crows than blackbirds. You find
their nests, big, bulky affairs, in the
orange and cypress trees of almost any
of your ranch homes. There are many,
many members to the blaekbird family,
the sweet voiced meadow larks and the
gorgeous golden orioles as well as the
more sober colored blackbirds and
grackles, and of all these but one
forces the hatching of her eggs and
the feeding of her young on to another
bird mother.
In England the cuckoo has this same
habit, but the American euckoo bullds
her nest and sits on her eggs as nicely
as any robin or dove could do. Bome-
times our road runner so far forgets
herself as to lay ber eggs in the nest
of a quail or a meadow lark, but not
often, but when she does the bird upon

and South America there is a cowbind
that sometimes builds a nest of her

the eastern states. Usually, however,
only one egg is laid In each nest, es
pecially if the birds to whom the nest
belongs are small and the nest too
little to hold more than one of the cow-
bird's young in comfort. The parent
cowbird never disturbs the eggs of any
of the birds In whose nests she leaves
her own, knowing full well that if she
did so the nest bulider would In all
probability desert her home or throw
the strange egg out. Oftentimes more
than one cowbird lays in the same
nest, and, as no two eggs of these
birds are ever exactly alike in color,
