Cow birds.

    

We have been getting lots of cow birds around lately.  I think they are a fancinating bird.  They lay their eggs in other birds nests.  They have a short incubation period so the baby cow bird will hatch before the other eggs giving them the advantage.  The bigger baby cow bird will push the new babies out of the nest and the surrogate parents will feed and raise these birds as their own.  The parent cow birds have nothing to do with babies.  They seem to like the black birds.  I don't remember seeing these birds around much until a couple of years ago.

  Work is tonight.  I am hoping it goes well.  This week off just flew by.  I am so far doing well on plan.  I had slim fast for breakfast.  Lunch was plain ramen noodles without sauce and I had steamed squash, zucchini, and onions mixed in with  parmesian cheese.  Filling and low cal.  I had an apple later for my snack.  Supper is up in the air.  I have chicken and would like to make that chicken dish with the corn and black beans but I have to go to the store to get salsa if I do.  Sounds yummy though.  I have to stop playing with my camera and get some things done.  I don't think I am doing the zoom right or getting the most out of it.  I have to read up some more.  Hope everyone has a great rest of the day.
