Tricolored Blackbirds and Rice
As a recognized agricultural and conservation organization, the California Rice Commission is committed to providing key information and resources to its growers to help them understand the ecology and specific regulatory protections of California’s wildlife. Of particular concern to rice growers is the status of the Tricolored Blackbird (Agelaius tricolor), as this species occurs primarily in the Sacramento Valley in mid-summer to late fall and is intimately related to rice.
