Red-Winged or Orange-Winged Blackbirds?
When my mother was visiting the other week from Vermont she noticed our red winged blackbirds around here actually had orange wings. Is it a color variation? A Wisconsin trait? The bird below looks like it has slightly more red in it's wings than the others. Anyone else have red-winged blackbirds that look more orange-winged?

Hi! I am Audra in N.E. Tennessee. I just thought I would let you know that yes, we do have a few in the area that have variations of the color in their wings. Some are so much lighter they are on the verge of being yellowish in tone.
Hi, I'm in the Niagara Region in Ontario Canada. We noticed last week that we have rid-wings that are more vibrant orange then a red. We still can't a close enough picture though.
Hi, I'm in Calgary, Alberta & we had our first ever 'orange winged blackbird' at our feeder. We have only seen red up until now. There is no doubt its orange, not a red-orange, just orange.
