One I like; you may not

I am still in North Dakota. This image is of a bird that many people have a very low opinion of. A Brown-headed Cowbird. These birds are “nest parasites”. They lay their eggs in the nests of other species of birds. When the eggs hatch, the Brown-headed Cowbird chick grows faster and larger than the nest’s other chicks (whatever species than may be). You would think that the parents would recognize the intruders (“Whoa, where did this odd looking giant chick come from?”), but they do not appear to do so. Because the Cowbird chick is bigger and more aggressive they get far more food than the original chicks; in fact, often the original chicks die. Brown-headed Cowbirds are also not very colorful (although I think they are underrated). Whatever their shortcomings, they have a great display behavior. They bow, sing, and often flip upside down to each other. This appears to be mainly a male to male thing. “Mine is bigger than yours” type of thing. This shot is actually made from two shots taken a second apart. In each of the original shots, one of the birds was displaying and the other was just sitting there. I combined the two in PS. Cheating? Yes, but I like the outcome.
