Great shots and your red-winged blackbird looks very similar to our fan-tailed widow bird.

Wow they are very similar, other than the beak shape. I'll have to look up their call and see if its similar as well.

[papilloncharity]

No, they are similar, but I think that they are different species. Maybe they come from the same root family that lived a million years ago 😀

Hmm as it turns out their call is much different here's what the red-wings sound like

[papilloncharity]

Wow. This is so great and I didn't even know that musicofnature.org existed.
You have opened up a new world for mr to explore.

And yes, as I thought, they are only similar in color, but it's not the same bird.
We have another one also with similar colors, but it has a very long tail.

Check out the "Long-Tailed Widowbird" (Euplectes progne)
