I Out Rank You, the Red Winged black bird has the stripes on his shoulders to prove it. As the two of them seem to be arguing. With the third bird listening intently. (video below)

  2. Those Red-Winged Blackbirds are beautiful but that beak is lethal! I’ve stopped them at the Park trying to steal a Robin’s eggs, then babies. And the Robin mom returned and chased him far away. I also saw a Red-Winged Blackbird attack a goose. These are great photos showing him giving the others the business!

    1. I have only seen them out in the country before, this is the first time I have seen them at a feeder and lots of them at times.

      1. They like peanuts – sometimes they sit in a tree and come closer if they see me handing out peanuts. They’ll come down to the ground if I toss them there. This morning I had a female Red-Winged Blackbird. First time for that as it is usually just the males who fly down to eat peanuts

  3. I learned not to mess with Red Wings years ago when I walked close to a tree with a nest. The Male Screamed and chased me away for a ways.

    Laughter Beats Pneunomia!! I now have proof positive!

  7. Full colonels are called Bird Colonels because they wear eagles as their insignia. With his two stripes, this one is only a bird corporal. 🙂 Just enough authority to be bossy.

I am a traveling photographer, I like to travel rural America, the roads less traveled when I can. I love the great outdoors, my Photo Galleries contain Landscapes, wild life and a few just for fun photos. Thank you and have a great day.
