Red-winged blackbird
Agelaius phoeniceus
Red-winged blackbird is a striking marsh and field-edge bird whose song carries well across open wet ground, reeds, and nearby gardens.
Where stormwater areas, ponds, wet edges, or taller coarse vegetation persist, red-winged blackbirds can become part of the neighborhood soundscape. They benefit from standing stems, seed-bearing grasses, and open sightlines around wetter habitat.
