This afternoon I was out in my backyard and a very upset bird started flying around my head. I found a nest in a bush and went and got my camera. I think that it is a female Redwinged Blackbird. Can anyone confirm this?

    I'm not sure, ours don't seem to be that clearly different than the male. Good luck finding out!

    Thanks
    The book that I have shows the female with a breast like this and there is another Redwinged Blackbird that was there for awhile but when I had my camera out there he wasn't around.
