These shots look like a Brown-headed Cowbird fledgling to me, some of the White-crowned Sparrows are probably its "parents" Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds nests, leaving them to be raised by their adoptive parents _________________ Sue Langley, B.C. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40006638@N06
