Molothrus ater
This bird was foraging for food with an adult California Towhee. It seemed to be under the parental care of the Towhee. Inspite of it's size it appeared to be a baby. Does not resemble the local Lesser Gold Finches that are so common. The first thought that came to my mind is that it was a "Cow bird" baby.Any suggestions?
