      Would anyone be able to help me identify this bird, saw it for the first time at one of my feeders this morning. Thank you. 6A2302A0-902F-439F-98C2-3DDE2A3B69E2_1_105_cIMG_0116

      My best guess is a female Red-Winged Blackbird.

        There has been many males at the feeder, but this is the first female I have since we put up the feeders 3 weeks ago.  Thank you for your reply.

        I concur. The size, larger than Sparrows and the white stripe above eye towards back of head are what I use to ID them. Having the males visit is also further likelihood that it’s what Frankie indicated.
