Red-winged Blackbird

TheMusicOfNature | July 11, 2010
A delicious video portrait of a male Red-winged Blackbird. I've had trouble getting really good-looking footage of males doing their so-called "songspread" display, that is, until I came across this particular male! He was going full-tilt, puffing out his red epaulets (shoulder pads) and singing with complete abandon. Halleleujah—I think I'll eat this scrumptious video for lunch!
