Observation details
First saw 36 foraging in farm field south of marsh. Males with clean white as opposed to yellow under red shoulder patches. Then heard and saw nesting colony at east end of marsh. Song similar to redwing blackbird if sung by a kitten. Constant chatter among the colony but more muted than redwing blackbirds. Females lacking warm tones of redwing blackbirds. Nests tied into downward hanging branches of submerged willows mostly 3-10 feet above water. Underestimate, likely twice as many
