Thanks to all who responded to my query. After looking at the photo that
Andy Sewell provided, I see that it probably was a female Red-Winged
Blackbird. Hadn't seen one that close up before and they always seem to be
with a male who was singing, so I never noticed the differences in her
coloring. She's pretty, to say the least.

Thanks again to everyone. You're all great to respond so quickly. Mystery
solved!!


Happy birding!! Yeah for Spring!
