Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Icteridae (Troupials and Allies)
More abundant in the West than the East, this spectacular marsh bird breeds locally, often in areas of marshes with deeper water than where Red-winged Blackbirds thrive. The calls and songs can sound amusingly strident.
