I just did a quick Google Images for "female red-winged blackbird" and - no surprise - came up with dozens of photos which will give you some good comparisons with your own photos. Very striking markings on the female RWB I've always thought. Cheers!

By the time I got my camera a blue jay had arrived and startled it so that it went up into the tree. It was about the size of a starling, definitely larger than a sparrow. It did get a few pictures and while it does look like a female red-winged blackbird, and it was heavily streaked with black, and the eyestripe was white with a hint of yellow near the eye. Any ideas as to what this might be? Thanks. http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Unknown1.JPG http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Unknown2.JPG http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Unknown3.JPG http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/Unknown4.JPG ========================================================================== Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities ========================================================================== Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University ========================================================================== PO Box 1000 Stn Central 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Canada Canada ========================================================================== Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca ========================================================================== --Boundary_(ID_a9gEkYzsvcs3IC4ZTea5vA) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16414" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Patrick,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with the others who have respopnded - you had a female Red-winged Blackbird under your feeders.
