The brown headed cowbird (family Icteridae) is an obligate brood parasitic songbird whose range spans much of North America. Cowbird DNA isolated for whole genome sequencing is derived from an adult female (bird identifier: BHLD 08-10-18). The specimen is from a female cowbird nestling that was taken from a prothonotary warbler (Protonotaria citrea) nest in Belknap, Illinois, and then hand reared in captivity. This project is a part of a set of experiments by the Brood Parasitic Bird Genomes Consortium.
