Red-winged Blackbird at Schollenberger Park in Petaluma. It seems that, where there are Cattails, there are Red-winged Blackbirds. I used to think that their bright epaulets served to attract females, only to learn that the display is used in territorial defense. Go figure!
Agelaius phoeniceus, the Latin name, sounds very romantic, doesn't it?
