Description
While the female red-wing blackbird is out hunting for dragonflies to feed their offspring, the male red-winged blackbird stands on a cattail, guarding the nest.
Although I never discovered their babies, I know their nest was nearby. They acted fiercely towards people who traversed the path to the dock at Summit Lake in the Monongalia National Forest of West Virginia.
