Red Winged Black bird

Hi Jeanne, if you would like to add the scientific name to one of your own spottings, go into the edit spotting and add there. The suggestion function is for spottings that are not your own. BTW, glad to see you hit the ground running :)

Thank you :) He was posing for me...

lovely!

Lovely spotting! Where you know the species as in this case, please can you look up & add the scientific name so that we can take this off of the "unknown" list. Because we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the system uses the scientific name to link similar spottings - which also means this may come up in the thumbnails on other spottings & more people may take a look & favorite it! Without the scientific name this will continue to show up as unidentified & you may get further ID suggestions from other users. The scientific name for the Red-winged Blackbird is Agelaius phoeniceus. Thanks in advance.

Showing all his Mating plummage!
