Female on left. Male on right. The female lays her egg in the nest of other birds. Her egg will hatch and the host parents will feed it like it was their own. The other babies will not survive.

Your comment is very interesting. I never realized this is what the female looks like. Great shot of the pair.

Nice capture. We do have a similar European species (Cuculus canorus), but I've never seen one (in the wild).

Yes, a parasitic bird. I haven't seen a cowbird yet this year, but they will be in Colorado soon. Nice photo.
