Lucky you having those Yellow-headed Blackbirds!

Well, maybe, Lol!

They are the worst "sounding" birds in North America. Their song is sort of a scream/guttural choke/wheeze/screech.

Truly, it is the the most horrible sound in birddom, even worse than a cactus wren or a barn owl.

But ya gotta love 'em for that.

LOL!! I have heard their call on a CD before and it’s awful! Let me tell you though if I heard it here, it would be music to my ears because they are so rare and one is lucky if they can see one during migration in this part of the country.
