Thats a gorgeous bird! Ive only seen Redwinged Blackbirds around here.

The upper one is a Yellow-Headed Blackbird. The third, I think, a House Finch.

and colors on the head and throat match.
George McGovern
(5,420 posts)8. Thank You Probatim. I keep getting them mixed up.

Plus they don't murder Bluebirds and their nestlings - which is a big plus.
George McGovern
(5,420 posts)12. A Big Plus Indeed!

I love how their wings are all in slightly different orientations.
Beautiful sunny shot!
