DID YOU KNOW?
- Many male birds have brighter colors than female
birds. The male red-winged blackbird catches your eye as it flies by. It has a bright red
patch on its wing. The rest of its body is shiny black.
- Female red-winged blackbirds are brown. This helps
them hide when they are sitting on their eggs.
