Bronzed Cowbird

["ld tripp" <ltripp29 at hotmail dot com>]

Tonight at about 4:30 I met Glen Barlow where the road deadends into Red 
Hills G C in St. George. As we were looking for the Hooded Oriole's that are 
nesting there A female Bronzed Cowbird flew in and landed on the phone line 
in front of us. We watched it for about a minute. Then it flew into the palm 
tree were the Oriole nest is. As it got to the tree the male Hooded Oriole 
came from the tree behind us and went in after it. It chased the Cowbird out 
of the palm and over onto the G C untill we lost sight of them both.

If I remember correctly there was a sighting of a female Bronzed Cowbird in 
that area last year at around this date. Could it be the same bird back 
agian?
