shiny cowbird



Dear Carolinabirders:
    Late yesterday afternoon, Susan and I saw a female shiny cowbird at the
ferry terminal at Cedar Island.  It was a lone cowbird, feeding in the grass
with about a dozen starlings.  Noted:  an all brown bird; no white throat;
faint supercilium; sharp, pointed bill; no curve to the culmen of the bill;
longer tail giving a longer appearance than of brown-headed cowbird.  We
studied him twice.  Last seen flying off over the motel section there at the
ferry landing.  A life bird for us.  Rich and Susan Boyd, Beaufort, NC.
