Observation details
I believe it was a Song Sparrow that was feeding this BHCO immature at the east end of the pond. I do not come across BHCO immatures often, so this was in fact, a treat to see one so close up. It is an interesting life history for this species. The brief encounter I had with this species today, reminded me of a Common Yellowthroat I watched in Sieur De Mont, on the Jesup Trail frantically feeding this over-large chick! The dedication it takes to feed this interloper is pheromonal .
