Red-winged Blackbird, May 8, 2019

ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday, and My Corner of the World
R is for the Red-winged Blackbird

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, April 7, 2019
Red-winged Blackbirds, Agelaius phoeniceus, can be found across most of North America. The coal-black males have distinctive red and yellow shoulder patches; the females are a more subdued brown overall (no shoulder patches), but quite beautiful nonetheless. Red-winged Blackbirds feed on insects in the Summer, and eat seeds and grain in the Winter.

Have a great day!

  4. A handsome chap. I saw one today. I must not have been near the nest, otherwise he'd have gone for me.
