At the beginning of this week, Red-winged Blackbirds were everywhere at the refuge, the males gleefully singing their territorial songs. I selected the following shots for this year’s crop of photos of this most common bird.

He is very vocal, especially in the spring when the males try their best to get female attention. Thanks, Julie!

Thank you Emma! This bird is relatively easy to photograph. There are so many of them, and they seem to follow you whenever you go through their territory.

They are almost everywhere, but usually keep close to marshes and farmland where food is abundant.
