I saw a few of these this morning while I was out walking in Bowie. It males a strange sound too.

Great site. I was easily able to identify the red winged black Bird. They've recently been visiting and feeding here at my home in Westminster, Md.

Just identified thanks to your photo. Great site. Live in Westminster, Md. Have a couple of them at our feeders.

I saw one this weekend for the first at my feeders in Randallstown. I have two Brome feeders, one contains a Fruit and Nut Blend and the other contains a Select Blend Wild Bird Food.

Very protective with nesting chicks. I was biking on the BWI trail near RT 195 when I thought someone threw a rock at my helmet. I turned to discover a red-winged blackbird hovering over my head. The following week someone posted a warning sign at that location. I guess I wasn't the only one attacked. I admire their parenting instinct.

I live in Frederick. I came out of my grocery store and saw half a dozen males sitting on the fence posts and small trees. I've never seen them in this area before. Very pretty.

A jaunt around Druid Hill Lake in Baltimore the afternoons and you'll see so many of these guys - they appear to live in the shrub at the water's edge and perch along the fence much of the time.

Just had one in my feeder in Mechanicsville

This bird swooped down at us as if it was going to attack! It chased us around the pond until it finally turned around at a certain point. I looked it up and it is apparently very aggressive when it has a full nest. But they are beautiful just like the picture and with a beautiful song too! This was ocean city Maryland bayside.

Thanks for the photo, it assisted in identifying the flock that has been feeding on my bird feeder the last few weeks down in SC , the Pawley's Island area. Much appreciated.

Right behind the Golden Corral restaurant on Rossvile Blvd (near Belair Road) is a man made water shed. There are hundreds of these birds there. First time I ever saw them was 2 weeks ago.

You have to come to Elkridge, there are all these ponds in my neighborhood and right by Elkridge library on Rt. 1 I see these birds there ALL the time and you can almost ALWAYS find the blue heron and some green herons at the ponds farther up the street (On Rowanberry), come check it out!!!

I believe I just saw one of these birds in Glen Burnie near Marley Creek. Very colorful.
Sharon 25-Jun-2011 05:17
It wasn't until today, and JUST now that I found the name of this bird! I live in Baltimore, and occasionally walk around Lake Montebello. I've seen this bird a number of times there. I've tried deseperately to find what it is...and then I found your page. Thank You.

Southern Maryland, Lusby. An entire flock of these landed in my wooded yard during late winter. Well over 100 of them!! I ground feed with sunflower seeds and they were really hungry! Beautiful birds.

I've seen this little beauty several times last year in our yard, I sure hope to see him again this year. Salisbury, Maryland

I live in Baltimore and only once did I see one such as mouth-dropping as this one.
Never saw before such colored wings. It stayed to eat awile at the feeding stations.
Thanks for the ID. Any more beauties native to Baltimore area?

I live in Southern Maryland and recently I've seen the Red-Winged Blackbird many times and have also seen, for the first time in my life, other birds of different variety. I was so use to seeing the American Robin for many years and now it's a pleasure to birdwatch.
