This bird gathering nest material may look like a totally ordinary female red-winged blackbird but she is as far as I know unique. Her call is completely different from any other bird of any species, so different that the bird app Merlin doesn’t register it as a bird call at all. For the last couple years she has nested near the same spot along the lake path. It took me a while to figure out where the strange call was coming from, and you’re looking at her! Apparently the strange call isn’t keeping her from reproducing.

BOTD: Red-winged Blackbird

Photo: Skip Russel

"Among our most familiar birds, Red-wings seem to sing their nasal songs in every marsh and wet field from coast to coast. They are notably bold, and several will often attack a larger bird, such as a hawk or crow, that flies over their nesting area. The red shoulder patches of the male, hidden under body feathers much of the time, are brilliantly displayed when he is singing. Outside the nesting season, Red-wings sometimes roost in huge concentrations."

Recent birds: Female red-winged blackbird / tordo sargento (Agelaius phoeniceus), at Kingfisher Pond, San Pedro House, Cochise County, Arizona.

She repeatedly cocked her head to one side. I wonder if she was trying to get a better view of a potential nesting sites.

“Shh, Shizun, it’s alright,” Luo Bingge says, voice lilting in a singsong manner. Shen Qingqiu can’t look away from his red, red eyes. He blinks, and they aren’t eyes at all, but feathers, perched on a mound of coiled, shifting vines that are dotted with white thorns dyed their own bright red from Shen Qingqiu’s blood. “Go to sleep, Shizun,” the black-and-red bird sings, coaxing. “Go to sleep,” Luo Bingge repeats, as he flickers back into being.

or: Shen Qingqiu is attacked by a monster that drops him into a dream of a perfect world--with Luo Binghe featuring front and center.

I got impatient and decided to post the first chapter of this fic along with the new chapter of second-hand alibis. two-for-one special!
