Abstract

Brown‑headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) have been suppressing reproduction of songbirds in a number of areas of Texas, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has initiated a program of training people to appropriately trap and dispatch cowbirds parasitizing the nests of local songbirds. Songbirds have responded with increased reproduction in areas where cowbird control has been implemented during the breeding season.
