Agelaius phoeniceus



What you are looking at is a Red-winged Blackbird who comes early in the spring and nest around ponds and wet meadows. If you get to close to their nest the male is very vocal and may even hover right over your head. The two pictured are males and one is moving a bit faster than my shutter speed so it appears to be in motion.
