Red Wing Blackbird

Description:

The bird’s head and body is all black, expect for the shoulder-portion of its wings, which show a sharp red patch. The red blotch is interrupted at the tip of the wings by an equally impressive yellow color. In flight, the wings spread out and the red wings with yellow tips stand out like racing stripes to either side of the bird’s body.

Habitat:

Red-winged Blackbirds are year-round residents to the eastern part of Maryland.
