I did note this blurb in your informative post: "Regional Differences There’s subtle variation in Red-winged Blackbirds across the country. The most obvious race is the “bicolored blackbird” of coastal California, which shows no yellow border on the red shoulders."
That sounds more like this bird. Based on the rest of the description and the song, this sure seems like a California bicolored version. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 9:22:40 PM, you wrote: KW> I don't think it is.
