A Red-Winged Blackbird, from my bay window

From my bay window and my work station office, I can see birds feed from the bird feeder. One day last month I captured a female Red-winged Blackbird.

In animal symbolism, seeing a Red-winged Blackbird, a beautifully crafted song bird manifesting strength and agility when flying, means that you need to draw out, from inner-self, that beautiful you. They also protect their mates and other birds by chasing away even larger predators. They do not fear!

What does a female Red-winged Blackbird look like? They are an even, glossy black with red and yellow shoulder badges. Females are crisply streaked and dark-brownish overall, paler on the breast and often show a whitish eyebrow.
