Auriparus flaviceps (Sundevall)
Austin (1970:432) observed a fledged young brown-headed cowbird (M. ater artemisiae) attended and repeatedly fed by a verdin in southern Nevada. This is the first record for the subspecies A. flaviceps acaciarum as a cowbird host; there were earlier records for the eastern race, A. flaviceps ornatus (reported as A. flaviceps annexus in Friedmann, 1963:64). All of the few earlier records were of eggs only; the present case is the first one of a verdin rearing the young cowbird.
