A female Red-winged Blackbird with dark brown and cream streaking on her body, white eye stripe, and brown wings, flying from her perch on a dried piece of light brown foliage. She was in an area near the pond that had more brown and reddish-brown dried foliage, set against the light brown weathered rails of a bridge that leads to an overlook above the pond. Seen at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts.

A female #Red-wingedBlackbird flying away from two males that were looking for a mate and kept following her around. Sort of a throwaway shot, but I liked it anyway! (Concord, MA - 4/14/26) 🤩🪶🤎

A red-winged blackbird balances atop a dried great mullein plant from the previous season, with Rocky Mountain National Park faintly visible in the lower background. In this vertical color photograph, the bird perches near the top of the frame, centered in the upper half, clinging to the plant’s seed head. It leans forward to maintain balance, its tail raised high and its beak open mid-call. The background is dominated by a gray, overcast sky, while softly blurred mountain forms occupy the lower portion of the frame.

A softly sunlit bird with a black body, a rich brown head, neck, and upper chest, and a thick black conical beak stands on a black metal bar in profile facing right against a marbled creamy brown background.

Yeah, I know people don't like them, but their water drop call is pretty cool and very distinctive.

A red-winged blackbird, positioned diagonally with the tail in the top right corner of the frame, perches on an angled feeder pole and is about to dive towards a tube feeder on the left right. The backdrop is out of focus greenery.

Two bowl feeders and a metal ring are attached to a vertical pole with the ring positioned between the two feeders. An American Robin perches on the metal ring, facing right, head raised high and tail tilted downwards. An Eastern Towhee perches on the rim of the top bowl feeder, back towards the camera.  Out-of-focus greenery fills the backdrop.

Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads and the Alt Theme is #Grey.

I've gone for the primary theme.

The world is in such peril, Rusty Blackbirds don't seem very important. Then again, maybe they're more important than ever. If you want to cleanse with some blackbirds, give my post a read. www.understorytales.com/post/rusty-b...

There’s a blackbird that sits on top of my neighbour’s roof and sings for most of the day. It’s so beautiful and uplifting.

A red-winged blackbird sings at one of my favorite local parks in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird fills the frame as it perches in a small pine tree, belting out its call. Its feathers are puffed out as it sings. The background is a soft blur of green pine needles with patches of gray sky filtering through. In the foreground, a dead pine branch with peeling bark reveals intricate pine beetle grooves zigzagging across its surface.

A Red-Winged Blackbird perches high in the leafless branches of an Ash tree on a clear day in late March. He’s contorted to keep an eye on his fellow flock members, and that makes it easy for us to see his exceptionally clean, strong, slate grey beak.

A male Red-winged Blackbird with black body feathers and tail and red and white shoulder patches is perched on a light brown cattail in a marshy area. There are more light brown cattails and dried reeds along the edge of a pond with light blue water, with another band of light brown foliage on the opposite shore, along with brown tree trunks and branches and green evergreen trees.  Seen at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts.

A male yellow-headed blackbird takes flight over last year’s cattails at a local nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the blackbird appears in the lower half of the frame with its wings down and tail fanned as it flies toward the camera, its gaze intense and focused. The background is a soft blur of yellow-brown cattails from the previous season, with a hint of blue water reflecting the clear, bluebird sky typical of Colorado.

A yellow-headed blackbird attacks an osprey that has just caught a fish and is flying away over a local nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the viewer looks up into the sky as an osprey crosses the left side of the frame, clutching a small fish in its talons. From below, a territorial yellow-headed blackbird lunges upward, harassing the larger bird and driving it away from nests hidden in the cattails beneath. The background is a soft blur of clouds with a small pocket of blue sky breaking through.

A female red-winged blackbird drops into free fall just before taking flight at a local nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, last year’s cattails rise from a pond, their soft textures framing the scene. The bird is captured mid-air as it launches from its perch, wings tucked away. The background of blurred cattails adds depth, while a band of blue pond water appears near the top of the frame. The image evokes the feeling of Free Fallin' by Tom Petty, from his 1989 album Full Moon Fever.

A Red-winged Blackbird stands on short green grass. It has dandelion seeds in its beak. It has a small, bright patch of red and yellow on its upper wing, which stands out against its dark body. The bird is facing slightly to the right.
