Red-winged Blackbird

These pictures were taken in 2008, thru the window.  I was shocked to see Red-winged Blackbirds in my yard in the winter.  I had thought they migrated south but later found out that some from the north migrate to southern Ohio.  This was the only time I have had them in my yard.
 These are pictures of the male and the female.

Last spring I got to see the male doing their mating call and showing their red and yellow wing bars.
