Birdbrains Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I am visiting Nantucket Massachusetts and saw this blackbird. I know the Tri colored is a west coast bird, but this bird has white instead of yellow. Is it a Tri Colored Blackbird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 No, almost definitely not, due to the range. Red-winged Blackbirds are very variable in their epaulet color. Even though most will have a yellow epaulet, some are very light yellow, very close to the white which is on Tricolored Blackbirds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdbrains Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks, I figured it was a Redwing but was hoping it was a Tricolored as it would be very rare here and a new bird to add to my list. again thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
