First Record of Bronzed Cowbird (Molothrus aeneus) Parasitism of the Common Bush-tanager (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus)

摘要

I report the first record of Bronzed Cowbird (Molothrus aeneus) parasitism of the Common Bush-tanager (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus). This represents the 97th known host for this cowbird species and the 10th known host from the Family Thrau-pidae. This record is based on feeding behavior observations and vocalizations recorded in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.
