I had an oddly colored red-winged blackbird at my feeder today. Head, breast, and back black like an adult male. Red and yellow epaulets. BUT - the black breast ends in a pretty clear line, and below that line, the breast is a streaky salmon color. There's also an additional thin white bar on each wing, below the epaulet, and lots of white on the tail.
Any ideas about what's going on? Thanks, Liz (Excuse the picture quality - I took them all from inside.) https://ebird.org/checklist/S86054818 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
