Red-Winged Blackbird (Male)
Agelaius phoeniceus gubernator
34.4098, -119.697
Field Notes
Description:
A black bird with a red patch on the shoulder. This subspecies, sometimes called the bicolored blackbird, does not have a yellow bar under the red patch as other populations have.
Habitat:
tall weeds next to a lake.
Notes:
I think this one had a nest somewhere. Even when I got pretty close to take a picture it didn't fly away, and kept on chasing crows away from its patch of weeds.
The call was a metallic trill.
