I have Merlin and enjoy using it, but I appreciate the eyes of experience and would rather have you guys have a peek at birds I am uncertain of.

Again, thanks for you help.

Note the large size, long bill and dark colour overall. This is a female Red-winged Blackbird.

Hey  Reuven_M,

This is exactly why I post if I am unsure.  Thanks so much.  I just don't take Merlin as the be all and end all of bird ID.
