The Red-winged Blackbirds are back and noisy at Fort Hill. You can always hear their distinct “Cu-ca-ree” calls to each other as you hike the trails. They are so pretty and a sign that spring is almost here!
This guy was sitting on a fence post just singing away. Love his coloring… so bright and vibrant!
“Fun” fact: 😉
“The Red-winged Blackbird is a highly polygamous species, with one male having up to 15 different females making nests in his territory. ”
