It just seems odd to see them as a threesome

Menage A Blackbird?? LOL!

Now that I think about it, red wings are a 'flocking' type of bird, so maybe a male will breed with more than one female during a season, while non-flocking birds like cardinals have single male/female pairings.

Looking for some info on Red-wing Blackbirds I found a feeder cam. You can adjust the settings to view certain feeders up close.

I think I figured out the Red-winged blackbirds. These are all males. I didn't realize that the females have different coloring. I found this interesting:

"The males arrive first with the females arriving several weeks later."
