Upon departing Kohls around 545 pm (overcast) I saw a group of
'blackbirds' near the highway. But there was a solitary bird in a
distant tree with an odd call - somewhat melodius. Walked over for a
closer view - there was a redwinged blackbird with a white wingbar -
imperfect lighting to be sure. Margaret agreed that the wingbar was
white and not yellow. The bird changed calls to a more redwing like
call but it was still different. My quick web research suggests that
blackbirds can mimic other bird songs. Opinions?
