Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:22:55 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A male red-winged blackbird perches on reddish-brown seed heads of wetland grasses, displaying its distinctive black plumage with bright red and yellow shoulder patches (epaulets). The bird is surrounded by lush green grasses and wildflowers, with various seed stalks in different stages of maturity visible throughout the frame. The soft, blurred background suggests an early morning or late afternoon setting in a wetland habitat. The bird appears alert and watchful, typical behavior for this territorial species during breeding season.
