Male Red-winged Blackbird calling out his territory. Which is a bit silly because his "territory" was a tiny stump poking out of the water. I mean come on, at least find somewhere where a nest will actually sit!
Notice how he flashes his red epaulets when he calls. It makes him more noticeable to other members of his species.
