This is What Kind of Bird?


When there are differences between the male and female of a bird species it seems that in most cases the species is named in reference to the male's appearance, with no regard to the female. This shot is an excellent example, as this is the female Red-winged Blackbird; as you can clearly see the name bears absolutely no relation to what she actually looks like.
