Red-winged Blackbird (Male)

The Red-winged Blackbird,is an abundant permanent

resident of Florida. Inland, Red-winged Blackbirds occur around

freshwater ponds and marshes in natural, agricultural,

and suburban settings. Along the coast and in the Keys,

they breed in salt marshes, mangroves, and buttonwoods.

Their food consists of the seeds of weeds and grasses,

various grains, and insects and other invertebrates.

 

I found this one in the marsh along Heron Hideout Trail, at Circle B Bar Reserve.

 

Polk County, Florida.
