Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1961, Vol. 75 My introduction to the parasitic habits of the Cowbird occurred at Montreal in 1896 and the host was the Phoebe, then, as now, one of the more common and submissive victims. Some Cowbirds even appear to show a trend towards specificity on the Phoebe whether the nest site be shed, culvert, rock ledge, or sugar shanty, in the latter case often following the Phoebe deep into the woods.
