My wife used to fish regularly with her dad. He's been gone now for many years. She goes back to distant memories every time she hears a redwing blackbird. Pretty sound. We have them all around our farm, because our neighbor's pond is right across the road in a field. Our pond is in the woods and the redwing blackbirds don't seem to like it. I've never seen a female either, I just assumed they were like bluejays and robins, in that both male and female looked similar. Nice picture.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
