About the Red-Winged Blackbird

The red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) stands as one of North America's most abundant and recognizable songbirds, bringing color and song to wetlands, marshes, and grasslands from coast to coast. Male red-wings display brilliant scarlet shoulder patches edged in golden-yellow—called epaulets—that flash dramatically during territorial displays and courtship. Their iconic "conk-la-ree!" call signals the arrival of spring across the continent, filling cattail marshes and prairie potholes with melody as males stake out breeding territories. These adaptable birds thrive in diverse wetland habitats from urban parks to remote wilderness areas, with North America hosting over 100 million individuals during breeding season. Beyond their striking appearance, red-winged blackbirds demonstrate fascinating behavior—males are polygynous, often mating with multiple females whose nests they defend fiercely from predators and rival males. During migration and winter, they gather in massive flocks that can number in the millions, creating spectacular aerial displays. The species serves as an indicator of wetland health, with their presence signaling thriving marsh ecosystems. Whether you've watched them perch on cattails at sunrise, heard their spring choruses echo across ponds, or simply appreciate their bold beauty, the red-winged blackbird represents the wild spirit of North American wetlands and the changing seasons they herald.
