… “the most abundant and best studied bird in North America,” but this is the first time I’ve seen it around these parts. Pictures here.
What I mainly see around here are mourning doves, nuthatches, bluejays, robins, cardinals, wrens, starlings, grackles, owls, chickadees, woodpeckers, thrushes, catbirds, and hummingbirds. Never seen a red-winged blackbird before this afternoon.

They don’t seem to like built-up areas. I rarely see one in the city, but go into the bigger parks or the nearby rural areas, and they are everywhere. They seem to hate crows in particular.

we have them here in downtown Omaha, they like the cattails in our small public parks/waters.
