Since the female and male birds have different coloration in some parts of their bodies, there is a symbolic meaning of your inner spirit, which is different and unique at the same time. Red-winged blackbirds symbolize good luck, protection, prosperity, and guardian angels looking over you.

J'aime parcourir mes campagnes au petit matin. Je roule doucement et fais des arrêts dès qu'un sujet se manifeste.
J'étais à la recherche de Goglu des prés, que j'entendis...
Je coupe le contact devant cette belle perche, me disant que le Goglu voudra en profiter pour délimiter son territoire.
La place était prise ! Le carouge vint s'y poser et revendiqua le territoire pendant plusieurs minutes sans broncher ; il voulait que je le prenne en photo .
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

There were five males belting out their characteristic songs claiming territories before the arrival of the females.
Edmonton, Alberta.
On the way back from the adventure with the yellow-headed blackbird, while lamenting the soggy state of my boots, my attention becomes focused on a female red-winged blackbird who is frolicking in the reeds. Overcome by all the various tones of brown in the scenery I decide to do a Martha Stewart thing and begin to concentrate on how best to present all of these browns. I call it “getting in touch with your inner woman”. Martha, if I may call her that, is so good at deciding on a theme for the dinner table, Thanksgiving springs to mind, colors, setting and accoutrements flawlessly match and leave the poor dinner guest who was unlucky enough to be invited to the event with feelings of complete inadequacy and wondering how they could possibly ever have nerve enough to invite the goddess of presentational festivities to their own home in appreciative reciprocation.
My mind is overcome with the gravity of the situation – that is matching Martha at what she’s best - and come up with a flawless design of my own that would cause even Martha to raise an eyebrow. Will I ever feel free from these self- imposed competitive urges? So I scurry back and forth – not an easy undertaking, given the sorry state of my boots that are oozing forth wetland slime with every step – trying to obtain the best possible angle and also keeping the position of the sun in mind, lest any unplanned shadow would completely destroy the scene.
Thankfully enough, my model maintains her position long enough for me to get some relatively decent shots before the cramps in my index finger force me to abandon my endeavors and return home to sample a much deserved Krombacher. Who knew that wildlife photography could be so exhausting?
Well this was interesting, I had no idea that red-winged blackbirds were interested in peanuts. They swooped in and devoured them before Robbie (Grey squirrel) even knew that the nuts had been placed.
I rarely see the females but the red-winged dads are bringing their young ones to the yard now. They just love the millet. I think it's really cool that they will eat side by side with mourning doves. They also seem to get along rather well with most of the other visitors, Dunbar excluded. Dunbar (Northern mockingbird) just doesn't seem to get along with anyone.
This red-winged blackbird was calling in the wetlands, and perched where there were few obstructions. Makes for a great shot!
These guys come down for the winter and form these huge flocks. I have seen them foraging in the corn fields after the corn has been harvested but this time they were in a pasture where cattle were grazing. They move thru the field in a really unique way. While on the ground, as the birds find themselves at the rear of the group, they will fly up and over to the front edge and feed until they are back at the rear and start the cycle all over again.
