A photo of a male red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) perched on a thin brown marsh plant with wings raised in display and oversaturated red and gold shoulder patches, or epaulets, puffed out as it sings. It is facing toward the left of frame with its beak wide open, and small red patches of its bare throat are visible through its feathers as it strains, lit vividly by the sunlight of a bright afternoon. It is a mostly jet-black bird with dark eyes, beak, and legs to contrast with the bright red and gold coloring at the tops of its wings. The background is blurred pale blue-gray sky and brown marsh grasses.
The theme commands and I must obey. A black & red bird. #BirdOfTheDay
