Today Alan has chosen #Black&Red for the #BirdOfTheDay theme, any bird with Black & Red in its plumage. Can't miss this with my primary study species for the last 30 years being these guys. Males can control how much red they display. More red = more aggression (pic on right). #RedwingedBlackbirds 🪶

Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt. theme is #Borbs; any bird that looks round, chubby, spherical etc.

Here's a female red-winged blackbird taken at the end of July, going full borb mode to escape the heat.
