Female on her way down to her nest
Local cattails are alive with the sound of
Red-wings' nest
Notice how the nest is held up by the reeds.

These guys ALWAYS have something to say, this time making sure everyone for miles around knows that I'm in his territory.
I am linking to World Bird Wednesday.

Red winged blackbirds and cat tails, what could be better? Oh, the nest!
I can practically hear them from here.

Your photo of the female is fantastic, and the engineering of her nest is fantastic. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Lots of red winged blackbirds around the pond at the end of my street, they love the reeds.
i can't see how she made that nest, its perfect and balanced just right. our black birds are really loud.
Great captures of both the male and female. I love how the nest is balanced in the reeds. Beautiful picture.
I especially like the first shot!
Nice capture!
What a wonderful nest in the reeds. I hope there are no strong winds/storms before her family is grown and gone.
These are amazing captures! Lot of bird watching in this area too - though I'm not quick enough with my camera. Love these :)
Your bird shots are gorgeous and it was such a treat to see the nest nestled there in the reeds. What a lovely post. I so enjoy seeing and reading about all the birds. genie
I love to hear them - it means summer is coming!
That looks like a precarious way down! Wonderful shots, all we need now is the soundtrack!
fantastic shots today!
How beautiful!!!!!
I love this time of year.
Cheers from Cottage Country East!
I always like seeing those red winged blackbirds. Love that flash of color.
I love the shot of the nest.
You are so lucky that you were able to find the nest. My RWB's nests are too far from my vantage point in a very reedy place, so I have never been able to spot them. I do know right where they are though, because the females give it away by going to the same spot over and ove. Great Pictures ... have a wonderful week.
