Red-wing Blackbird

I just loved listening to this red-wing blackbird sing his song over the marsh area I was walking on!
Interesting facts about this bird:
The Red-winged Blackbird is a highly polygamous species, with one male having up to 15 different females making nests in his territory. A male fiercely defends his territory during the breeding season. Some birds may travel as far as 80 km (50 mi) between the roosting and feeding sites.
