went to a park with an old-fashioned windmill out front, slightly squeaky, and painted bright red. ~20ft away there was a magnificent male red-wing, doing his display call very pointedly at it. "squeaaaaak" "chREEEE!" we looped around the park and he was still there after the better part of an hour 😅 i love these guys. more hormones than sense lol
Your vids are very well made. Someday you'll have more subscribers. Here in Northern Michigan we are blessed to have them every spring. Love their color and their wings. I have many birds coming through my yard every spring. Amazing what corn and sunflower seeds will attract. The key is you MUST do this every year! Once you're on their migration route, you will see them. Same goes for wood ducks and red breasted grossbeaks.
I have become friends with “Red” and ask him to sing for me when I visit him in the morning. I’ve not mastered his trill song. So will borrow a TH-cam and play it for him going forward. “Red” loves to visit with me each day. He’s very social
Wow what a surprising Blackbird for me !. I am amazed to discover so many more varieties of Blackbirds in the American continent. In Europe we have one only Blackbird with a yellow beack (now endangered). This one has charming melodious songs and sings in Spring at sunrise and sunsets 🎶🎶🎵.😊😍. Thank you for this wonderfull video.
I live in a very swampy area, which provides lots of habitat for these guys. I always see them out biking, but there are a few that claim territory where I work, so I often hear them on the walk in and out from the parking lot. Occasionally, they'll notice you and try to ward you away. They have a quick staccato chirp when they do this, and will sometimes hover above you until you leave their territory.

Thank you, Diane! Glad you enjoyed it. It's fun to hear about birds in other parts of the world! Appreciate you sharing.

Excellent field observations!
Another good job!
