Description
Red-winged Blackbird is one of the most abundant birds across North America. It also ranks among the best-studied wild bird species in the world. These blackbirds prefer marshy, reedy areas, particularly where cattails are abundant to provide a supply of soft nesting material. Female red-winged blackbirds can be very challenging to identify because of their strong resemblance to marsh-loving sparrows. To properly identify these females, these clues are essential: Like the male, the female red-winged blackbird has a sharply triangular black bill. There is a distinct yellowish tinge to a female red-winged blackbird's face. A pale eyebrow, dark eye line, and dark malar stripes are distinctive markings on the female's face. While the female red-winged blackbird lacks the bold scapulars of the male, she may show a tinge of red or rust on the shoulder and throughout the upperparts. The female's underparts are buff but are heavily and thickly streaked with dark brown or black. Captured in Massachusetts.
