This morning we saw red-winged blackbirds. We could not figure out why they had just yellow on the wings. We learned that they can conceal their red patch. They eat insects,weed seeds,cracked corn and seed mixes. They were all males, the females are brown. We probably had fifty or so in our yard this morning.
here are some links to pictures and info:

Hey Birdman!
ReplyDeleteThose red-winged Blackbirds remind me of soldiers. The red looks like a soldiers rank patches.
Way to go! Great Blog!
