September 10th, 2005. Monterey County, California.
| Tricolored Blackbird Agelaius tricolor, females. ABA Code (2).
| We had some fun trying to pull out Tricolored Blackbirds from Bi-colored and Red-winged Blackbirds
at a local wetland in Monterey. The females were arguably more
distinctive than the males being rather cold gray in appearance with a
very white throat, completely lacking the rufous tones of similarly
plumaged Red-winged Blackbirds.
