Red-winged Blackbird Female with Dragonfly

South Carolina, USA

The Red-winged Blackbird is commonly seen near freshwater marshes where it forages for food. The male is easily identified as its name readily describes its appearance. The female however look much different, with dark brown above and heavily streaked below. There may be a small red patch on the wings, but that is often absent. This female has caught and holds a dragonfly and another insect I can not identify, perhaps rounding up food for its nestling. Photo © copyright by Dr. Edward Mikol.
