Bug Catching Expertise
A female red-winged blackbird
It was hard to get a good focus on the red-winged blackbirds amongst the tall reeds. This female had a beakful of bugs. There is likely a nest nearby. More than once a red-winged blackbird flew at me while walking the trail, but not the two birds I took a photo of.

Red-winged Blackbirds eat mainly insects in the summer and seeds.
Both males and females defend nests from intruders and predators.
