photo of a female red-wing blackbird while she was singing. She was on my deck pecking apart oatmeal bread to take off little pieces to her babies. I LOVE how well you can see her markings and color. To my mind the female is prettier than the male red-wing blackbird. if you look above the eye there is a kind of reddish-orange color, the browns all over are such wonderfully rich colors. Check out the zoom image that better shows the coloration of the female especially around the head
