Subject: [Tweeters] "Tricolored" vs. Red-winged

Hello Tweeters,



I have been reading the Washington Tweeters digest for several months now
and have seen several posts concerning Tricolored Blackbirds at one
particular location (sorry, I forgot the name of the "ponds"). There are
never any follow up posts in reference to these reported sightings so I was
wondering if these are in fact Tricoloreds rather than Red-winged
Blackbirds? I have checked Washington state checklists and various books but
don't find any mention of an annually recurring colony of Tricolored BB in
any of them. Am I missing something?



Thanks!
