It was with a flock of red-winged blackbirds marauding my feeder, and very easy to pick out. In fact my wife, who is not a birder but does enjoy watching birds, told me at the time: "Quick, come see this unusual bird at the feeder!" I was stunned! It was present throughout the morning during a snowfall event, but then it disappeared and was not seen again. If you don't mind saying, where you are in Upper Marlboro? I will look for it!
