61. Red-Winged Blackbird - January 2008

I remember seeing my first Red-Winged Blackbird on a freezing day out at Reiffel - years and years ago. At the time I was amazed at the colours on the bird's wings... the bright yellow and red look great against their glossy black backs. I remember Pam and Penny being less impressed. They really are very widespread, but I do like them. They have the same kind of carolling song at Australian magpies and when they fly and show their colours they are beautiful.
