The Red-winged Blackbird is a highly polygynous species, meaning males have many female mates – up to 15 in some cases. In some populations 90 percent of territorial males have more than one female nesting on their territories. One-quarter to one-half of nestlings turn out to have been sired by someone other than the territorial male.
