Red-winged Blackbird
Although he looks to be falling off his perch, this male red-winged blackbird is actually singing "conk-la-ree!" and doing a shrugging display while balanced atop of a cattail. Males are the first to return to their breeding grounds, and their cheery call is a sure sign that spring is here!
