| Bi-colored Blackbird Agelaius phoeniceus
| The males of this California form of Red-winged Blackbird
are pretty distinctive when seen well in good light. The matt black of
the plumage is a little different from the glossy black of Red-winged
Blackbird and the median coverts are black, rather than yellowish.
