Red-winged Blackbird (male)
This little bird kept coming over near where I was sitting on a log and chiming to me, so I decided to do some research to figure out what type of bird he is.
This little guy is a Red-winged Blackbird, apparently very prevailent in North America. These birds love to be near the water, as I found this guy at Mendon Ponds, a park in northern New York. The males have this noticeable red and yellow streak across their wing, like the bird pictured above, while the females are more subdued, often brown.
