BIRD OF THE DAY
The Red-winged Blackbird(Agelaius phoeniceus) is a bird species that live in North America, with scattered populations down to South America. It breeds from Alaska and Newfoundland south to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and Guatemala, with isolated populations in western El Salvador, northwestern Honduras, and northwestern Costa Rica. It may winter as far north as Pennsylvania and British Columbia, but northern populations are generally migratory, moving south to Mexico and the southern United States. It is the most abundant and best studied bird in North America. Seeds and insects make up the bulk of the Red-winged Blackbird's diet
