I always get lots of Red-winged Blackbirds here in Northeastern Ontario ☺ I love their call.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

I like their calls also!

[@coldspring624]

The song of spring around here.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Nice! Robins sing here in the Spring

[@neildbarker]

Heard my first one of the year yesterday (March 11, 2023) in my local conservation area. This fellow was the first back in the area for 2023 and I'm sure he'll have more in the coming days. Love to hear that call on my hikes. Thanks for sharing - great footage!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Very cool! Thank you!

[@keyinadreese7536]

WOW 🦅the Red winged Blackbird is so pretty thank you for sharing 😎

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

You are so welcome

[@kateclark7250]

You can't miss that call! Thanks for the video.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

You got that right!

[@ktjankabar]

Can’t miss their call! Sounds like you have many near you. Nice close up!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Thank you!

Gorgeous backdrop and birds.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are!

[@CluckCluckChickens-gc2sq]

Birds are cool😎

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Agreed!

[@tinathorne8355]

Beautiful, a striking wing color against the black. Thx for sharing

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

I agree!

[@emiliadeino]

Wow what a beautiful background!!!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

It really is!

[@TheSunflowerGalaxy]

although I know it is a different bird this reminds me of when the Common Grackle males do their puff-up display if they draw too close to one another over a feeding area.. they make a similar sounding call to the Red-winged Blackbird 😅 thank you for the footage!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Interesting!

[@jennamarynsierra]

I think they’re both considered blackbirds so it makes sense that they would have some similarities 😊

[@teamskrub2292]

Beautiful birds

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Yes they are

[@design1of470]

0:33 "NO!" lol

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

That was a funny clip!

[@gemsbyjackie5479]

Very pretty birds. Saw two fighting in the street the other day..

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Yes they are

[@kevinthorn9672]

These Birds are always by water

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Yes they are!

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

Love Blackbirds They're very aggressive when they have eggs or hatchlings in nest.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Wow, I didn't know that

[@catonthemoon2084]

Cool video 👍

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Thank you!

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Such cool birds!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are cool Lesley! Their call is so distinctive!

[@nicksweeney5176]

I do love me some Redwings. They, along with Orioles, are the Raging Bulls of the Blackbirds.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are cool!

[@djosbun]

Beautiful video!! 🐦

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Thank you very much!

[@YAHaqabNatsariym2701]

Now this was a cool video! I’d like to understand how you set this up! Amazing!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Here's my camera setup birds.walkingdown.com/4k-close-up-camera-setup

[@NatureSpeaks1]

This was awesome! I haven’t got to see one around my area yet.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Hope you get some!

[@antlerking69]

More than once I've had them attack my head while cycling.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Wow, maybe there was a nest near by

[@antlerking69]

@@BirdsWalkingDown Yes, nesting in cat tails

[@winnhill3736]

Hear it happens when males think you may be a threat,until they get to know you.People say you can barely feel it,but it gers your attention.The peck,that is.

[@diana_prince_1]

They are very territorial, they are protecting their nests.

[@agnesegan236]

Every year around February Redwings fly to my South Florida home. I place food out and relish in the thought they come back to my tree, in my yard...till about April then leave. I have been loving the return call of the redwing for over 20 yrs now

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Awesome!

[@winnhill3736]

Have many on my farm and house in Arkansas.Most sighted bird in state.Hear their calls all day long during warmer months.They don't visit my feeders,maybe a bath now and then.I do like them but they can be a little noisy,but that's ok.When they are around,it means warm weather.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Awesome

[@OntarioBirding7538]

Poor bluebirds 😂

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

True! 😂

[@diamoneglass2136]

I SWEAR IM GOING TO GET ONE FOR MY HOME 🫵🏽 JUS F*****G BEAUTIFUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are beautiful!

[@ShellyCline]

The illustrated bird in the thumbnail isn't correct. The markings and the eye color are wrong. It looks like a hybrid between a red-winged and an eastern towhee.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

I think you are right. Thank you for the feedback

[@ShellyCline]

@@BirdsWalkingDown my pleasure. It does look pretty cool though 😊

[@litalewis8425]

I had them the beginning of summer but not for at least a month or more. 🤔 I grew up with them around here so... not sure where they went. I'm in southwest Michigan. Got my other backyard friends. But maybe they left because of a hawk I've seen... (#backyardhuntcleanup🙄)

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They like hanging out in swamp like areas

[@litalewis8425]

@@BirdsWalkingDown Thank you. That might make sense because we had a lot of wetness at first. We even had a mallard duck pair show up for about a week! There's a house with a wet area next to us. But more homes have been built & we don't have as many critters now.

[@kylemacdonald986]

I live in ny. They show up right around now then disappear. I've always assumed other birds like blue Jay's scare them off

[@robertganther3695]

Should be called the orange wing blackbird.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

You're right!

[@nicksweeney5176]

First...!!!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Nice!

[@willdixon607]

To be honest I’m not really a fan of these birds because they attacked me while I was walking!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

I'm sorry to hear that

[@maxlucas88]

i agree with your stance and take it a step further i strongly dislike them. they nest in my backyard and get really buthurt as soon as i go outside. constantly squaking fake diving and hissing at us and im not really sure i would call their song beautiful either it sounds very shrill to me and with the number of them around here around soundset they all go ham not so chill

[@FG-bu3jp]

​@@maxlucas88 it sounds very unique
