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.
