Red-winged Blackbird - Early Spring

This male red-winged blackbird has a very distinct sound and takes me back to my childhood growing up in the mid-west United States where they were very abundant and could be heard all spring and throughout the summer. They are a sure sign that spring is coming, as they are some of the first birds to migrate back north. Looks like spring will be early this year! Captured on McArthur Lake, north Idaho.
