Red-Winged Blackbirds
The red-winged blackbird
A flash of red and yellow
Perched on a cattail
If there's a wetland with a cattail, you'll probably see a red-winged blackbird. The males are all black except for a wide band of brilliant red and a narrower band of bright yellow. Even in a blur, the red and yellow stand out. As recognizable as the males are, the females are brown with no special markings and can almost go unnoticed. Red-winged blackbirds build their nest in the dense cattails, usually down near the waterline.
Finding the cache:
- No need for your toes to leave the trail to find the cache.
- The container has room for small “treasure” and travel bugs. If you take a piece of treasure please leave something of equal or greater value in return. Also make sure the “treasure” you keep is not a “travel bug” (they are meant to be moved from cache to cache).
- It is always a good idea to have a pencil or pen with you.
- Please rehide the cache as well or better than when you found it.
- You’ll need a Discover Pass if you plan to park within Camano Island State Park.
- Please let me know if there are problems with either the cache or its coordinates.
