Today's bird(s) is this pair of red-winged blackbirds that I saw at the local wetland!

I always like it

when birds look distinguishable, have odd markings or behavior that I recognize. This Red-winged Blackbird seems to be growing new wings on his shoulders, and I think it looks really cool and dramatic how the sheaths are slowly turning into real feathers. He did like to present himself properly, too.

Hey all! I don't typically post my photos here but heck, I should. This is just a heads up that you won't see much from me for the next couple weeks as I go on my yearly fieldwork trip to Yosemite to train our summer bird banding crew in how to run their stations. These MAPS (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) stations are part of a long-term (30+ years!) monitoring project that has resulted in some amazing science, from teaching us about how climate change affects birds at different altitudes to setting new longevity records (we have a 20-year old woodpecker!).

All of this is done through The Institute for Bird Populations. Go check out the website and learn more about what we do for birds around the world!

This bird gathering nest material may look like a totally ordinary female red-winged blackbird but she is as far as I know unique. Her call is completely different from any other bird of any species, so different that the bird app Merlin doesn’t register it as a bird call at all. For the last couple years she has nested near the same spot along the lake path. It took me a while to figure out where the strange call was coming from, and you’re looking at her! Apparently the strange call isn’t keeping her from reproducing.

The first sighting of a Red-Winged blackbird is always a joyous thing.  

He ruffles his feathers and sings heartily for a mate. 

His song is piercing and pure.
