I only see the Red-Winged Blackbird during the summer,
yet according to my bird book, it is here year round.
It is a widespread, familiar bird, with a very familiar and distinctive call.
Sexes are dissimilar and on Sunday I only saw males.
- blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly...
all your life, you were waiting for this moment to arise -

You are right about their distinctive call, when I hear that, I know spring is here! Do you have any yellow-headed blackbirds out your way?
jim...we do not, or not that i know of!! i know i act like an expert, but i am not. just a little ole' backyard birder!!
I had that album! LOL
Love that song and those birds. They are back here but I haven’t seen one yet.
Beautiful blackbird. I love when they sing early in the morning.
Have a nice weekend.
These birds, although not terribly musical, have a certain charm.
Lovely markings.
You've got me singing that song now! LOL :)
All the best Jan
I always recognize it by its call.
Beautiful photos! We're supposed to have them all year, too, but generally don't see any during winter.
Such a sweetie and what beautiful blue skies!
We just went out to the park we like to go to last night and we saw quite a few of these birds, so neat to see them hanging out all over :)
