    Birds of Virginia Field Guide - Stan Tekiela

    Birds that are mostly black

    Eastern Towhee

    Pipilo erythrophthalmus

    male

    female

    YEAR-ROUND

    SUMMER

    Stan’s Notes: Named for its distinctive tow-hee call (given by both sexes) but known mostly for its other characteristic call, which sounds like drink-your-tea! Will hop backward with both feet (bilateral scratching), raking up leaf litter to locate insects and seeds. The female broods, but male does the most feeding of young.

    Brown-headed Cowbird

    Molothrus ater

    male

    female

    YEAR-ROUND

    Stan’s Notes: Cowbirds are members of the blackbird family. Known as brood parasites, Brown-headed Cowbirds are the only parasitic birds in Virginia. Brood parasites lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the host birds to raise their young. Cowbirds are known to have laid their eggs in the nests of over 200 species of birds. While some birds reject cowbird eggs, most incubate them and raise the young, even to the exclusion of their own. Look for warblers and other birds feeding young birds twice their own size. Named Cowbird for its habit of following bison and cattle herds to feed on insects flushed up by the animals.
