One of the most distinctive sounds you’ll hear in a Florida marsh is the call of the red-winged blackbird.
Particularly when there are a large flock of them hidden in the grasses and cattails.
The birds are easily identified by their song and by the bright red markings on their wings.
This bird is trying to mate with my car and dives at me when I go outside.
I see these a great deal at my bird feeder but I have not heard their sounds as yet. Hopefully they will be around all year.
They definitely are! Their call is very distinctive and says “Florida” to me.
