ABC Wednesday and
Wild Bird Wednesday
A is for
Agelaius phoeniceus - Red-winged Blackbird
 |
| Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, July 6, 2017 |
Red-winged Blackbirds,
Agelaius phoeniceus, are seen all across North America, from Canada to Mexico, and down into some of the Central American countries.
The males are easily identified by their bright red and yellow shoulder patches. This one seemed to enjoy posing for me. The streaky brown females are much quieter and less often seen than the males.
Have a wonderful day!

Great bird! One of my faves! :-) Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI guess we must have those in Texas, but I don't recall ever seeing one. I put out seeds, but see very few birds. It's mostly squirrels but I enjoy watching them too.
