    Pretty good bird, kind of overdoing it on the color based naming scheme, 7/10 would bird again.

    They’re neat but could shut up more. I’m trying to listen to a cardinal make laser noises and suddenly one of those dudes REEEEEs right near me.

    There are always tons of them in a field behind my house, so I’m just kind of used to seeing them back there. But they have a nice song, and it’s always amusing watching them land on a tall strand of reed or prairie grass and seeing it bob back and forth in a comically slow arc.

    I haven’t lived in their range for a long time, but I’ve always liked them. They look great, (if I remember correctly) their singing is pretty nice too.

    I guess they make pretty good birds, but they really need to chill out a bit. I’m 30 feet from your nest dude, no need to dive bomb me.

      That’s about 10m from the nest, for the rest of the world

    This is the first time I’ve ever thought about them.

    They nest by the pond behind the house in the spring. They have a pretty song and they gang up to harass the crows. A1 bird in my books.

    It’s also funny that they disappear all at once at the peak of summer. Once the young have fledged they leave the pond and it’s suddenly quiet just when it’s hottest.
