Red-winged Blackbird, Male JF06849
As with most Blackbirds, the Red-winged is a social animal. Flocks can be large though often the wetland vegetation obscures their presence. Then every so often a male rises above the dense wetland vegetation to survey the land and check on the competition.
Location: Huntley Meadows Park, Fairfax County, VA
