In high school, I worked for a gentlemen who owned property that was home
to a large Yellow-headed Blackbird nesting area, so as soon as I saw this
picture, this is certainly a young Yellow-headed Blackbird. Although some
of that thicker streaking on the undersides can resemble Red-winged
Blackbird females/juveniles, the yellowish wash as in this picture would
not be found on a Red-winged Blackbird. Neat picture!
Happy birding,
Caleb Alons
Larimer County
