An isolated shot of just one Red-wing Blackbird. There were others around. In fact, you will rarely see these blackbirds as singletons; there are always others around. Sometimes those others may include Grackles or Brown-headed Cowbirds. It’s always a party with Red-wing Blackbirds.

You might see them flying in flocks of 10 to 100 individuals. (Did anyone say “four and twenty”?) The entire flock will land together in the top of a group of trees. I’ve noticed they’re particularly fond of pine trees. In pines, they become invisible, save for the movement of a few birds, but the noise they make with their “skrr” call is unmistakable.
Great to hear they are in the area! Do you ever see them nesting near the cattails at the pond?
