Pond today (about 11 a.m.), I noticed a blackbird amongst the reeds that did not appear to be one of the many Red-Winged Blackbirds. The patch on its wing was bright white below the red and could have been tinged with a separate small yellow band, but the position of the sun could have produced that yellow cast. But there was definitely a lot of bright white. Since I don't recall ever seeing a Tricolored Blackbird, I wasn't sure if this was one or if it was some genetic variation of a Red-wing. I watched from Roop Rd. for about 15 minutes and I saw it fly in and out of the reeds a few times on the right side of the pond closest to the road. It did not do a lot of flying or move into sight very often, so I had to concentrate on finding it each time. It could easily be overlooked. I could not see any others even similar to this bird. Would any of you know whether Tricolors have ever been seen there, and if in fact, this is one? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid it will move on when it finishes nesting and I will never know. . . Thanks. Linda Adams, San Martin _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
