Red-winged blackbird, female

Peering over the edge of the bird feeder in the Backyard Garden. The females return a couple of weeks after the males, but once they arrive the pairing up and nest-building quickly follow. This year, because of the very long and cold winter, even the males were later returning.

As the photo after the story about the males fighting, seeing this picture made me imagine that this female was peering down at the warring males, wondering which of her suitors would win her as mating partner.
