Brewer's male is black, female brown. Red wing blackbird in foreground. I learned recently there is a tri-colored blackbird that looks just like the red winged but has a stripe of yellow and then a stripe of white beneath the red patch. I photographed these three at "The Barn" in Avila, in a tree right above the donkey enclosure.
FINALLY - I love to photograph starlings but rarely see them. Here re two hanging on to the donkey's feeding dish and then a red wing blackbird in the dish. The one's wings were semi opened and he looked brown underneath. In certain light starlings are gorgeous - iridescent blues, blacks and light wing tips.

Love the banner and you got some really good photos at the barn of these birds! I guess I wouldn't have thought you would see them there in such numbers.
Wow you hit the jackpot on these ones, they are splendid, bravo Sandy
