Red-winged Blackbird | Song From The Cattails
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- It's a sound that accompanies the arrival of spring. The male red-winged blackbird arrives at the breeding grounds and proclaims his territory.
He flashes his brilliant red and yellow epaulettes and calls loudly, announcing that THIS is his stand of cattails. The tall ground cover is a valuable resource, providing the perfect habitat in which to build a nest. He spends much of the day perched on a high branch, singing his heart out and chasing away intruders.
Female red-winged blackbirds look like an entirely different species. Her streaky brown plumage helps her blend into the foliage. Unlike the conspicuous perching of the male, she can often be found among the cattails.

Have you found an injured or orphaned bird or wildlife?
Do an online search for a wildlife rehabilitation clinic in your area. They will tell you what to do. If you can't find one, contact a local veterinarian and see if they know who to contact. Do not attempt to rehabilitate a bird or animal on your own.

went to a park with an old-fashioned windmill out front, slightly squeaky, and painted bright red. ~20ft away there was a magnificent male red-wing, doing his display call very pointedly at it.
"squeaaaaak"
"chREEEE!"
we looped around the park and he was still there after the better part of an hour 😅
i love these guys. more hormones than sense lol
Your vids are very well made. Someday you'll have more subscribers. Here in Northern Michigan we are blessed to have them every spring. Love their color and their wings. I have many birds coming through my yard every spring. Amazing what corn and sunflower seeds will attract. The key is you MUST do this every year! Once you're on their migration route, you will see them. Same goes for wood ducks and red breasted grossbeaks.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. And thanks for sharing your experience as well!
I have become friends with “Red” and ask him to sing for me when I visit him in the morning. I’ve not mastered his trill song. So will borrow a RUclips and play it for him going forward. “Red” loves to visit with me each day. He’s very social
Another good job!
Thank you!
Excellent video as always! I had no idea that the epaulettes display their emotions!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!
Just discovered your channel this morning; love your videos!!
Thanks so much and I'm glad you're here!
Wow what a surprising Blackbird for me !. I am amazed to discover so many more varieties of Blackbirds in the American continent. In Europe we have one only Blackbird with a yellow beack
(now endangered). This one has charming melodious songs and sings in Spring at sunrise and sunsets 🎶🎶🎵.😊😍. Thank you for this wonderfull video.
Thank you, Diane! Glad you enjoyed it. It's fun to hear about birds in other parts of the world! Appreciate you sharing.
Holy cow we have these everywhere!! We were trying to ID it but couldn’t. They are so loud in person 🥰
Great video, would love to see one on the barred owl
I live in a very swampy area, which provides lots of habitat for these guys. I always see them out biking, but there are a few that claim territory where I work, so I often hear them on the walk in and out from the parking lot.
Occasionally, they'll notice you and try to ward you away. They have a quick staccato chirp when they do this, and will sometimes hover above you until you leave their territory.
Excellent field observations!
