Red-Winged Blackbird
I'm almost positive that this is a red-winged blackbird, though it doesn't have that distinctive robotic call. I think the males make that machine-like noise, and this one is likely a female, given that it doesn't have the conspicuous red splash on its wings.
Red-winged blackbirds are numerous in North America and like to live in wetlands, meadows with tall grasses, and open woodlands. Their diets consists of seeds, grains, and insects. Throughout the months of March to June, they lay 1-2 broods of 3-4 eggs each.

I took this particular video early this year. They say that the sight of blackbirds frolicking in the cattails is a sure sign that spring is near.

Wowww there are lots and lots of blackbirds everywhere but red-winged blackbirds? Great!😃
They are common around these parts. They have cool red spots on the wings and make a unique sound.
What a beauty for God's sake! Are they related to the crows?
I don't believe they're related. The blackbirds seem less cunning than crows 😆
I will keep it in mind!🤣
