Index of Subjects Your description sounds like you are dealing with female and male red wing blackbirds. They tend around here to be mixed in with flocks of grackles - I see flocks often, but not at the feeder yet. Give them a little snow and we will have them close enough to tell the difference. If you see what looks like a female with a red spot on the shoulder it is probably an immature bird.
