BLACKBIRD? - A couple of female Red-Winged Blackbirds showed up under the feeders. Aside from the beak shape and size - the females look nothing like the males - and don't look black at all. It is called sexual dimorphism when sexes of the same species look dramatically different. It is usually the case in dimorphism that the male has flashy colors, but with Red-Winged Blackbirds, I think the females are much prettier than the males.

Today I learned what female red-winged blackbirds look like. I don't see enough of these. I love the sound of them, reminds me of the Cape and everyplace near water. They don't visit my feeder.
