Red-winged Blackbird


Red-winged Blackbird
Agelaius Pheniceus: 7.5-9.5"
These are found everywhere I guess... They have a bright red patch on their shoulder, bordered on the bottom by a buff white stripe. The females are brown and black with a buff eyebrow.
The best part about these is their call, a very liquid conk-a-reee. They ruffle up their frathers when they sound also. They come in huge flocks and fill the air with their call.
