I remember how blown away I was when I first heard that. Once I got better at recognizing bird songs, I realized it was really true.Ruralityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-17321338236554126512008-03-18T09:15:00.000-05:002008-03-18T09:15:00.000-05:00I think our Red-winged blackbirds have a slightly higher pitched song. I love the way they sing, and lately they've been coming into our yard and singing their hearts out. Sweet. Glad the tornado didn't touch down near home.robin andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-67004482799715728602008-03-17T07:20:00.000-05:002008-03-17T07:20:00.000-05:00We were lucky... there was not even a tornado watch, so we wern't exactly in a safe place.

Must have misplaced your number. I love the sounds of those birds. We hear cardinals in suburbia, but we have to go to the pond at the woods to hear the redwing blackbirds.pablohttp://www.roundrockjournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-38499791290006817302008-03-16T19:38:00.000-05:002008-03-16T19:38:00.000-05:00I loved hearing the Red-winged Blackbird call back to you!
