Okay, for the next 14 days, I’ll be posting videos of bird mating displays to give you some inspiration for Valentine’s Day. Here’s our first contender–get some romantic inspiration from the red-winged blackbird:
Another nice reminder of spring from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It’s a terrific video that explains the mating display of the red-winged blackbird. Gorgeous video that’s only 3 minutes long and gives you a taste of what we can expect in the months ahead.

















Gorgeous video! Yes, it is a good reminder of spring as I watch “thunder sleet” outside my window.
Great summertime sound on this cold cold MN day. Beautiful!
Very nice! I didn’t realize how different the genders were. I always thought the red wings were the boys and the yellow ones the girls and I see how wrong I was. I didn’t know the boys could hide their red patches. Thanks for sharing!
