Brown Headed Cowbird, Mars, PA
The brown-headed cowbird is another member of the menagerie that hangs out in our backyard. Our son Nick claims this is his favorite.
The cool thing about this bird is the iridescent nature of its silky black body. Sometimes he looks blue or purple depending on the lighting or angle. Such a beauty he is – eh?
The other day when it was pouring down rain, he was perched so regally above the feeder with the rain just rolling off his slick, drenched feathers.
He didn’t seem to mind at all, and I thought about the great lessons we can learn from nature…
about letting go of negative…
letting adversity just roll off our backs…
standing tall and proud no matter the circumstances….
looking good even with wet hair… 😉
Singing and dancing in the rain…
Thanks Mr. Cowbird!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
