Description
A female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) captured in flight near an inland impoundment in northeastern North Carolina. Unlike the striking glossy black males with their vibrant red and yellow shoulder patches, females exhibit a more camouflaged appearance. Their plumage is predominantly dark brown with heavy streaking, often featuring a pale eyebrow stripe. This muted coloration helps them blend into their marshy habitat, providing crucial protection, especially during nesting.
