Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Female Red-winged Blackbird
I have had a couple of flocks of Red-wings & Grackles around the house and
briefly at the feeders the last couple of days. I was surprised this morning to
see a FEMALE Red-Winged Blackbird scratching for spilled seed under a feeder.
My understanding has been that the males arrive first in early spring, usually
in large flocks, and claim territories. It is only later that the females
arrive.
Has anyone else noticed female Red-wings yet?
