This was taken off a boardwalk inside a smaller water reclamation area. It simulates everglades wetland habitat where there are alligators, marsh rabbits, coastal birds, and birds of prey that make this their home. The female Red-winged blackbird looks more like a sparrow, brown in coloring.

The nest is very interesting. It looks like they tie pretty large reeds around a stem. Nice series
