Agelaius phoeniceus
Male Red-winged Blackbirds are hard to mistake. They're an even glossy black with red-and-yellow shoulder badges. Females are crisply streaked and dark brownish overall, paler on the breast and often show a whitish eyebrow.

This little guy was very cooperative! In fact, I think he was showing off for me!

Thanks Tom! It's interesting how some birds cooperate and others don't! Funny how they all have their own personality!
Emily, nice close-up of the blackbird calling and displaying!
