Red-winged blackbird
Agelaius phoeniceus
The Red-winged Blackbird have many female mates – up to 15 in some cases. But all is not as it seems: one-quarter to one-half of nestlings turn out to have been sired by someone other than the territorial male.😅

Nowadays I usually have a nesting pair or 2 on my pond (in the cattails), they visit my feeders, and are pretty chill.
