Area Birders, The bird in the photo is indeed a female Red-winged Blackbird, probably a second year bird. I thought I would fool many of you, since the bird was unusually light on the face and throat, but you people know your birds. Forty-three people responded. Here is the break down: Red-winged Blackbird 36 Purple Finch 2 Pine Siskin 1 Yellow-throated Warbler 1 In jest: Male Blue Jay 1 Oldsquaw 1 Yellow-shouldered Blackbird (Puerto Rico) 1 Thanks to all of you who participated, Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt Buchanan County VA
