Description
Here are the male and the female Red-wing Blackbird. These birds live commonly in swamps, around tule grass areas, or along the side of a river, slough, or some such place. The male is black all over except on the tips of his shoulder where he has some bright red feathers, which may be edged with yellow in some cases. The female is gray mottled with darker brown. She has no dark colors. This bird may be distinguished from the ordinary Blackbird of our fields, the Brewer’s Blackbird, which has a white eye that can be seen a a very long distance.
