Red-winged Blackbird (female) - Agelaius phoniceus

The sun is a birdfeeder. The visitor busily munching is a Red-winged Blackbird. The female isn't black. The males were around, but none tried that feeder. Too bad, the contrast would have been striking. Maybe another day.

Enjoy!

I love that bird feeder! I remember Red-Winged Blackbirds from my childhood. They were nasty! But beautiful! :nod:

I really like the feeder as the background, nice job.
May not have the contrast of a male but it has a great blend of browns. Great shot, love the composition and detail.
