I saw my first Red-winged Blackbird of the season yesterday morning at Fort Hill. I love it when they arrive in March as it signals that spring is just about here!
This guy was singing away on top of the branch way out in the meadow. As soon as you hear their sound, “Cuck-a-ree,” you know you made it through the winter.
Welcome back, Red-winged Blackbirds!
Here’s a link to various recordings of red-winged blackbird songs.
I’m looking forward to hearing them soon!
