I have been enamored with this bird since I was a child. My all time favorite!!
I love these birds, too, but my favorite is the call of the Western Meadowlark, the state bird of Oregon.
This is a despicable bird to say the least. They are aggressive, noisy and bad-tempered.
They start their horrid screaming at sun up and never shut up until sunset. I've seen them gang up on smaller birds, 3 to 1. I've even seen them gang up on crows. I don't understand how they can continue their 'screaming' non-stop all day. Surely, their vocal chords must get tired. Also, I've never seen a bird more protective of their nests. One of them setup a nest in my tree in the back yard, and all summer long it harassed me every time I got within 20 feet of the nest. Not just that, but they harass as a group. They'll call their friends to come and join in on the harassment. Horrid, hateful birds are they. They swoop down until they are within a few feet of your head. There is one thing they really hate though, and that is being sprayed with a strong jet of water from a hose.
@@lduranceau8046 If only I can carry a hose in my backpack, this bird keeps attacking me while I try to enter my house. Like FUUUU
@@lduranceau8046 Sounds like they're just doing what any living creature would do if they thought something was a threat to their young....including humans. If even the most basic aspects of life are so horrid to you, perhaps you should just never leave you home again.
Me too!!
Omg I have so many blackbirds in my neighborhood, there’s 1 in particular who comes to my bedroom window and the deck everyday & taps on the window to let me know to put some more feed in the bird feeder. I call him Ralph.
Gwen Deshotel, It has been my favorite, too! I was raised in Michigan on a farm, and these lovely birds were my companions on many walks around the farm, and even around the four-mile block of gravel roads surrounding our farm. Thanks, Cornell, for uploading this!
I Love these Birds.
I just saw a Red-Winged Blackbird today! I love their calls so much! I am in the Southern Willamette Valley of Oregon. Saw the male near Fern Ridge Reservoir west of Eugene, Oregon.
We live out on the countryside in Nebraska with a creek running through our backyard and a few ponds nearby. The birds are _everywhere_ in my area. They even flock to our bird feeders. It's so neat to see them and hear them when I'm sitting at the table with all the windows open on a spring day.
Thank you for the free bird poster my kids are learning so much about the birds around us
I saw my first Red Winged Black Bird today around our pond. Displaying his beautiful wings and calling just as the one in the video. There was a female beside him. I'm surprised they haven't flown North yet since it's already 2nd half of April.
A stunning bird that I am graced to watch every year, as again and again they nest in the cattails of the pond. The calls started yesterday - it is truly spring.
The sound of summer! . . . very interesting video.
Always heard this sound when I was younger and never knew what it was.
The diversity is stunning
Back in 1991 and 1992, there are Red-Winged Blackbird still attacked people, even as late as August, as well as Hot August Nights in Reno Nevada in these year. Even in Carson City Nevada, Red-Winged Blackbirds do attacked people into August which is unusual for the first several days in August.
what lovely creatures
My old house and property had a large pond with lots of cattails; my favorite part of spring returning was watching and listening to the red winged blackbirds!
I love their call
This was such a great video, thank you! I photographed them this evening and had no idea that the females look so different!
I enjoy their calls, so soothing
The red color on their wings is so mesmerizing.
Muito bonito!
Thanks for sharing this David. I had no idea the female looked so different from the male. Not unusual for birds, but I had not thought about it for the red-winged blackbird. Saw a male earlier in the season. I wonder now, how many I may see without knowing, when their epaulets are hidden.
I always thought they were finches!!!!!
Spring in Michigan...such a Beautiful sound
I have one, seen it for years same wetland, yesterday had a softer sweeter, sing song call.
Me and my friend took ecology last year. It took forever for us to find one of these fellows around. We finally found some though. Now I'm looking for them again to get some pictures, and I can't find them again lol. These birds have some good memories for me to go with their beauty.
They are very common in my area. There are a lot of wetlands near where I live (Southern Willamette Valley, Oregon) and the boys are already staking out territory! They are so amazing!
They're fairly common here too in Missouri, though they seem to hide from me very well lol. Also, WOHOOO! Oregon pride! I was born up in Albany, lol. Can't wait to go and visit again.
Hey, "Albany"! How did you end up in Missouri?! I have been living outside of Eugene for a long time. Born in Portland, but spent a large portion of my childhood and young adulthood in the Rogue Valley - THAT is "home" for me.
Eh we (being my parents) just decided we needed to move. We were somewhat reliant on family to help us get by, so it was a nice change to rely on ourselves, I suppose.
Ah, yes. I understand. Come back when you can... There's no place like home (Oregon).
Sound of Spring🐦⬛❤️🖤🎼🎶🎵🪶
My life has been haunted by this sound.
As a child I lived in Georgia, USA..
Brings back fond memories of childhood, fishing with my grandpa and, then after; alone.
I am reminded still, of Vienna sausages, R.C.Cola and a MoonPie.........
These are my favorite birds ❤
Just saw one of these at my bird feeder! He is so beautiful!! And seems to love the sunflower seeds I put out
I especially like that this vid has also pointed out the special role of the female and shown what she and her babies look like. The same phenomena occurs down here in Arizona.
They don't give two red cents how big you are. They'll attack you like you took his wife over a poker game. Here in Wisconsin these little things are crazy especially during the summer time near ponds, rivers and tall grass areas. Beautiful bastards lol
Oh, I love it. So interesting! How did you get such great photos? Thanks for posting!
I was just doing a little local morning hike, and I saw one trying to attract the attention of a female. I saw his rear wings, or feathers, going up and down as though he was waving hello. She seemed to like it a lot! LOL
What a distinctive sound. I think some must live in my area, but I have very few memories of ever seeing any. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out.
In my home town there is a mill pond that the red wing blackbirds visit. I love to sit and listen to the birds sing.
It's turf war time in my neck of the woods. Plenty of vocalization this time of year.
just saw one in yard this morning. have not seem them in our yard before but have lived to see them around town for years.
I love these wonderful birds and I am glad that this video was able to teach me a little bit more bout them!
Everytime I go fishing in the California delta I love hearing that sound
Adoring a full flock here in backyard
I'm sitting here next to my redtail ponds in Fort Collins playing red wing blackbirds mating calls through my amplifier and watching and watching the blackbyrds tried looking for whoever it is they have to defend their territory against their going around to their outermost post of their territory is stopping looking around they don't have any idea that it is me playing red-tailed blackbird noise through a computer! It's quite fun
ماشاء الله في خلقه
See those in north Texas sometimes
I have seen these at school when I go outside
I love the calls of these birds. I've already seen quite a few males this spring. I've only seen a female once so far, though.
I remember when I first saw these birds they where hiding the reds spot on their wings so all I'd see was the yellow part underneath that looked like a big banana, so they have been forever branded "Banana Birds"
! :)
just learned what the female looked like. thank you!
I don’t know why they’re referring to this bird as if it is only part of the environment in the north eastern part of the United States. I’m in the Pacific Northwest and we have Red-winged blackbirds everywhere. They definitely love wetlands and they definitely love singing their hearts out. In fact here I am in mid January of ‘23, and I already heard male redwings staking out territory! I’m not sure exactly when the females show up and start nesting, but yeah, I am in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon and I heard Red-winged blackbirds calling today.
I wonder if northern red wings have a slightly different call than the southern ones. The ones in FL add an extra note on the end of the "conk-a-ree!" that is heard here. It sounds more like "Oh Don CHEEEAAdle!" down where I live.
I’m impressed 😍😍😍😍😍😍
These birds come out in huge flocks in feb/March in the northeast especially when it snows. No idea why.
Love hearing these boys sing when Im fishing
Nice video! Thank you! Are they ever so cute!! QUESTION too: I was just wondering.. I'm in a city (Montréal,Canada). Do you know if my redwing blackbirds I feed right now in april 2018 will stick around my feeders when the females arrive and the couples start forming, breeding and nesting, if there's no wetland, marshs or swamps around??? They can't nest on ground level: too many cats I guess.Are they known to nest in small trees for instance?? Or bushes off the ground and the like? Merci beaucoup!
May 2022 Scientific American has a fascinating article on bird song, and this is the first bird they bring up, describing the sound as 'conk-la-REE'
fantástico!!
There one of the first here in the Pacific Northwest as well. Yes, very territorial until midsummer. So bold as to chase crows near his end of the pond. Last spring there were what appeared to be five males jockeying for position on the island in the middle of the pond. They squabbled for weeks until what I believe to be the long residing male chased the others off.
So far this spring I've seen the resident male and just one, possibly two other males laying siege to the island in a bid to seize his island paradise. The resident male held them off. The victor continues to assert his presence with song and dance. I know it's the same male because of his distinct flight pattern and his buzzing of the ducks.
Occasionally he'll hiding in a spruce tree off the island watching and waiting to chase any intruders who dare to fly near his island domain. It's as if he sets this trap for sport. When he is not busy playing the trap and chase game his time is spent on the highest branch, of the tallest tree, an old apple tree, on the island calling out to female suitors far and wide.
We have these at our pond and I've never noticed that their red feathers lift during his call
What happens to them in July and august? I see them a lot less often.
He's extremely handsome and he knows it.
They are also located in the North Western part of the United States as well. :)
I have them all around me. Lots of red wing black birds
2:09
that's how I eat noodles
Lovely bird...Wow Amazing bird...GOD is Great!
Horrible, aggresive, loud, hateful bird. Sometimes, God makes mistakes, this is one of them
I saw one in canada
There are a bunch of these where I live, My family is currently looking after a baby to make sure its safe because it fell out of the nest it appears and its in the middle of a route foxes and coyotes.
DID ANYONE anyone watching this notice how similar humans are to these birds.. esp starting at 1:08, I mean when she talked about territory, and how it affects their lives, mating choices, offspring...male and female. You could just switch out the word bird for human.
This bird is such a show-off. it’s call sounds like “oh, look at me!” showing off it’s bright orange epaulets
They sure are intelligent little birds aren’t they? Right now there’s a huge flock in the big trees outside of our house
THIS is the bird of spring for me
There are thousands of them in Vermont.
I saw a group of red winged black birds attack and scare off an adult coopers hawk that was like 5x the size of them.
I had one land on my head
Nice.
This thing attacked me...they are crazy!!
They are horrible, aggressive and hateful birds. There is nothing nice about them.
Me too! I'm just walking along the sidewalk in northern Ohio and I must've gotten too close to it's territory cuz it pecked me on top of the head and tried to repeatedly. I'm also a tall person so that was probably more of a threat, lol
@@lduranceau8046 yup found that out myself - I never thought birds would attack humans. I was moving my lawn and it attacked me.
uh there is a lot where I live in an open park n Tucson called sweetwater
I have a male here in East TN visiting my bird feeder...I have yet to see a female but now I have a better idea of what the she looks like.
@searchexpresst1 Holy moly! There is a redwing blackbird on my hand!
I adopted a female red winged black bird today. She fell out of her nest. She is only 2 weeks old and some kid touched her. She lives with me now as she has a broken tail and will never fly again
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦃🦃🦃🦃🥰👍🦃🦃🦃🦃❤️❤️❤️
I see a lot of egg of this bird
is it just me or there's aton of these this year (2020)
"AAAAAAA"
Aw, the chicks are so plump, but they look nothing like their parents.
Monopoly board game?
Sounds legit.
The narrator sounds like Terri Irwin
he find me before and he cry because he know my life’s
All these comments and no one has an attack story? These birds are super aggressive; I've been hit in the back of the head on six different occasions, two of which I was nowhere near a nest. Its hard for me to enjoy the sound they make, because now whenever I hear it, my reaction is to duck and cover.
***** Where is the confusion? Did "fishing" mean something else besides impaling, suffocating, and killing fish?
***** Do you consider pleasure a sufficient justification for harming sentient beings?
Red wing blackbird singing in the dead of night........
Birds do have dialects, so it's possible.
no those are tri-colored blackbirds
Crobin

Ho like, s this till me ho like this or not

They only look good but they're not nice.
Gay birds? Seems legit.
