Red-Winged Blackbird

This very vocal bird makes its home in marshy areas. Due to our mild winters, they can be found year round at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary. This male Blackbird is getting an early start at establishing his territory. The females are dark brown without the red markings.

As occasionally happens, this image doesn't convert well to GIF, so we only have made JPEG files available.
