Description

The Red-winged Blackbird is a medium-sized songbird found in wetland areas. The male is black with bright red and yellow shoulders, while the female looks pale with brown feathers and stripes all over. The adult male can hide the brilliant red shoulders or show them off in a dazzling display. In North America Red-winged Blackbirds roost and breed in a variety of habitats, but tend to prefer wetlands. Red-winged Blackbirds eat insects, seeds, and grain. During the breeding seasons, males are very territorial. When singing to defend the territory or to attract a female, the male fluffs the red epaulettes and half-spreads his wings to display the red and yellow feathers.
