Red-Winged Blackbird: Identification, Habitat, and Behavior #30591 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a male red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) in breeding plumage, with glossy black feathers and bright red epaulets edged in yellow, set against a backdrop of green reeds and cattails. The bird is shown in a natural marshland setting, typical of its preferred breeding habitat across North America. Its slightly open beak suggests vocalization, reflecting its well-known loud “konk-la-ree” song used to defend territory.
