This project is to collect observations of brood parasites doing what they do best--parasitizing broods. We're looking for gathering interactions with host species. Relevant observations include (but may not necessarily be limited to):
Adults in the act of parasitizing a nest.
Parasitic eggs or young found in nests
Host species feeding fledged

Simple observations of adult brood parasites would not qualify for this project (however, they are automatically being added to the Brood Parasite project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/brood-parasites)
I am most familiar with parasitic birds (cuckoos, cowbirds) but other brood parasitic species such as insects are fair game as well.
