Checklist link: Red-winged Blackbird
Agelaius phoeniceus
The blackbird first showed up at the feeder on 1/30 and was with the first group of cowbirds. The one that was there last week was larger than this particular bird but wasn’t producing as good of pictures. By that I mean that there was much more background blur and touchup needed to make the pictures postable. I haven’t gotten myself brushed up on these skills, so I opted to wait until another blackbird came back to the feeder. Sure, enough there was one today with a group of cowbirds. This bird was posing better than the other one. I think since this bird has the red marking on the wing that it is a male, but it looks younger or smaller than the other one last week.
