A male Red-winged Blackbird plucking through some cattail fluff on a rainy day. Sometimes there are insects hiding in the hotdog-looking part of the cattail, but this bird didn't seem to find anything tasty. - ThreadSky

my favorite birb. their calls always take me back to childhood. im trying to lure them to my current home with several ponds, but no luck so far. so i have to settle for faint calls from a stream on an adjacent property. (im seriously considering moving....)

I love their ratchet call. They also natter at me when I walk by the feeder.

I love these birds so much. They remind me of living in Alberta as a child. Thank you !🙏💜

I love the RWBs in my area. They're so aggressive in protecting their nests that I think a bunch of other smaller birds have built nests nearby so they can be under the protection umbrella afforded by RWBs dive-bombing anyone who gets too close.
