From Kaufman Focus Guide-Birds of North America:
HABITAT/BEHAVIOR: Abundant and familiar, Red-wings nest in practically every marsh and weedy ditch in the temperate part of North America. Outside the nesting season, they wander in flocks through farmland, marshes, forest edge, walking on ground in open fields.
IDENTIFYING MARKS: 9"; Male's shoulder patches can be obvious (especially in song display) or mostly hidden by body feathers. Patches usually bordered yellow, but in central California ("Bicolored redwing"), these can be all red. Females and young very different, streaky brown with buff eyebrow.
