A female red-winged blackbird came to a feeder that had been up for about two months. It was always covered with doves (mature and little ones). Cardinals were scared away by the doves, but the red-wing stood up to them and doves have learned she won't fly away and will chase them from feeder. It looks like she stuffs seeds in her bill, flies away, then returns to eat seeds. Possible chicks in nest?
