I was told that male Redwings change to adult coloration somewhat gradually .

Very nice capture pichaser. The colors are very interesting during this phase.

This guy was sounding very adult male which brought him to my attention .

That's pretty cool. I don't think that I have seen one sporting these colors. Excellent shot to show its plumage.

His voice got my attention and surprise he was close.
Thanks for your positive response.

Cool character nicely captured! Does he go from black-to-red or red-to-black? My ornithological knowledge is sorely lacking.

So your explanation finally explains what I've been puzzling about.
These birds looking like that are at a maturing stage!
Thanks!
