Red-winged Blackbird and Other Bird Songs

The Red-winged Blackbird resides primarily in marshland, wetland, and grassland habitats. It is distinguished from other blackbirds by its red shoulder epaulets and yellow wing bars. The red shoulder patches of the male, hidden under body feathers much of the time, are brilliantly displayed when he is singing. Red-winged Blackbird song consists of rich musical notes and melodies. This binaural audio recording features the Red-winged Blackbird birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa's Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Common Yellowthroat, Song Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, American Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Brown-headed Cowbird with Red-bellied Woodpecker, Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
