Brown headed cow birds

We changed our property tax from ag to wildlife. One of the things you can do is predator control, when I asked the biologist that looked at my management plan about this I was thinking coyotes. Biologist mentioned cow birds and then surprised me with feral hogs as well fall under predator control

Sparrows will do this to a purple martin nest also. Seen it happen.

I've never seen grackles do this and I used to follow bird nesting habits very closely. With that said, do you really need an excuse to 'harvest' a grackle - KAG!

Yes, the brown-headed cow bird is the main suspect we have around here. The cuckoo bird also does this. They're called brood parasites.
