Song of the Redwing Blackbird

This redwing blackbird was singing its heart out at Delta Ponds. Must be that time of year when they are wooing. Try this to hear the song of the redwing blackbird (I hope it works) - http://www.birdjam.com/birdsong.php?id=25

If you want to see some interesting facts about the redwing blackbird, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds is very informative - http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/red-winged_blackbird/lifehistory

Someone has something to say! It is stunning against that blue sky.

Nice!

Not exactly a pretty bird but he has a striking in-your-face appearance. That beak looks deadly.
Paul Milholland04-Feb-2014 04:47
Exactly what Chris Cochems said. . . . ;-)

Nice capture of the RWBB belting out a call for companionship.

Lovely catch, Vern. No sound came from the video but I've heard its song here, in Manitoba.
Carl Carbone03-Feb-2014 12:24
Nice catch! They're almost a better harbinger of spring than the robins.
