These are a couple other birds which you will probably see if you visit the nestbox trail. Above, is a female Mallard with her ducklings. The ducklings were getting out of the way of a muskrat.
This is a male Red-winged Blackbird. If you have walked through this part of the park, you have heard them singing in recent weeks. There are many males there and they all want to attract a female. They will try to outdo each others' songs and you will see them flashing their epaulets to show how attractive they are. Their song sounds like "conk-a-reeee."
