#Bird of the Day: Red-winged Blackbird (RWBL)
With many birds, the visible features for which the bird is named are present on the male of the species alone. The females, & sometimes immature males, can look vastly different, a phenomenon that causes confusion. The sexual dimorphism of the RWBL

The female RWBL fools me sometimes, as she looks so different from her partner. While a male sports the eponymous red (+yellow) epaulets, a female lacks red wings & she’s also not even black! Instead, she’s streaked & dappled in browns & tans, resembling

#birdoftheday is #unusualangles so I’ll contribute this Red-winged Blackbird (RWBL) displaying its epaulets as seen from above. I took this pic many years ago so don’t remember how it was I found myself at this angle.

RWBL are a special breed all of their own.
Spectacular photo!
The eagle shown below was undeterred by the crow sitting on its back ripping out its feathers, but took off as soon as attacked by a RWBL.
