Jim, these red-winged blackbirds certainly let you know they're around:-)

One of my favorite birds. When we west to the lake when I was growing up, when I heard them, I knew we were close.

Must be a hard job being a bird sometimes! :)

Thanks Tina. It probably both a show for a female that was in the weeds below him and the other males he kept chasing away.
Tiz
Excellent Tom! Is he putting up a show for a female or is it a regular behaviour?
