There are plenty of Red-winged Blackbirds in the marsh at Lake St. Clair Metropark. Males redwings are the first birds to arrive in March, and stake out a spot for their nest. They trill loudly announcing their presence.
Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea (M)
The species is always associated with running water when breeding, although they may use man-made structures near streams for the nest. Outside the breeding season, they may also be seen around lakes, coasts and other watery habitats. Like other wagtails, they frequently wag their tail and fly low with undulations and they have a sharp call that is often given in flight.
This slim wagtail has a narrow white supercilium and a broken eye ring. The upperparts are grey and the yellow vent contrasting with whitish underparts makes it distinctive. The breeding male has a black throat that is edged by whitish moustachial stripes. They forage singly or in pairs on meadows or on shallow water marshes. They also use rocks in water and will often perch on trees. They have a clear sharp call note and the song consists of trills.
The breeding season is April to July and the nest is placed near fast running streams or rivers on an embankment between stones and roots. The male in display, makes short flights up into the air and descends slowly with fluttering flight accompanied by a rapid series of chipping high notes. In Europe the nests are often made in holes in manmade structures. The clutch consists of 3–6 speckled eggs and multiple broods may be raised with declining numbers in the clutch in subsequent broods. The usual clutch size is five in Ireland and the breeding success is about 80% with predation of eggs or chicks being the main cause of breeding failure. The Canary Islands population typically have smaller clutches and the breeding season is not as short and well marked as in populations at higher latitudes. The incubation period is about two weeks with chicks fledging within a fortnight. They live for a maximum of 8 years in the wild.
In some parts of the its range the white-throated dipper nests in the same habitats as the grey wagtail and there are some records of interspecific feeding of dipper chicks by adult wagtails.

Captured this tweet little guy quite some time ago, but only got round to editing this one last night, another visit through the archives. He’s a very friendly one, he’s used to humans being at the nature reserve every day, and he even takes food from people’s hands. What a wonderful little character he is. Hope all is well with everyone and you had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all the recent comments and faves while I’ve been taking an internet break. Much love ❤️🌹😍
Finally got a wildlife lens, which was delivered this morning. 😀 Quite a bit heavier than the previous one we had, so I’ll have to do weight training. Just had a bit of a practice with it, handheld, in the garden to try it out. Will get the hang of it, I’m sure and will feature in National Geographic at some point, (dream on) 😂😂😂 Lots more wildlife images to come this year. 🐦
They look to me like a trio of birds singing :)
I've been really busy lately - will catch up with you all this weekend.
" Down By The Creek" a little "Chipping Sparrow" rests after taking a drink. The adult Chipping Sparrow sports a bright rufous cap which provides a splash of color. They are common across North America wherever trees are interspersed with grassy openings. They sing loud trilling songs that are one of the most common sounds of the spring woodlands and suburbs.

"Male's song is a series of notes on one pitch running into a trill, known as the "bouncing ball." Female's song lacks the trill, is shorter and not given as frequently. Call is a soft prrt. Both sexes sing, defend the territory, incubate, and brood. Song is the best way to distinguish sexes."

Shots like this are going for a song!

Warbling Vireo
Thank you so very much Athena and Attention Magazine! Its a huge honor ! I am so trilled !!! wow ♥
Check the magazine here : Attention Magazine SL's Summer 2023 Issue
Three-toed, small-billed, golden-backed woodpecker found primarily in wet tropical forests in two disjunct regions, the Western Ghats in India and Southeast Asia. Separated from Greater Flameback by a much smaller bill, a black nape, and a black undivided horizontal stripe below the cheek. Separated from Black-rumped Flameback by a red rump and a white throat. This species is a regular participant in mixed-species foraging flocks, often detected by its loud, high-pitched trill similar to that of Greater Flameback. Best told from the nearly identical Himalayan Flameback by voice. (eBird)
------------------
Seen or heard most days, this was definitely the best look at this beautifully coloured woodpecker. This female was taking a break from looking for grubs in this gnarly old branch.

Birding Singapore.
I had been hearing reports of a couple of Five-striped Sparrows being sighted in Box Canyon. Yesterday I decided to have my first real birding adventure to find it. Lucky for me there were people that pointed me in the right direction and I made my climb up into this beautiful canyon. The spot was marked clearly and I was rewarded when it made it's way up the side of the canyon and perched on this occotilla to sing a song for me...'what a trill'...:)...this is also a life bird for me.
Thank you for viewing and comments.
Trille ondulé
Trillium undulatum
Il préfère les sites humides et les sols acides. On le trouve dans le nord-est de l'Amérique du Nord. Au Québec, l'espèce est commune dans les Laurentides et les Appalaches, et on la rencontre jusqu'en Abitibi et sur la Côte Nord.
Prenez-les en photos, mais surtout, ne cueillez ni ne coupez aucune fleur.

Watched and listened as this red morph screech owl trilled back and forth with her mate who sat in nearby tree. A haunting and beautiful duet on a foggy morning by the river...
Le trille ondulé est une des quatre espèces de trilles que l'on trouve au Québec.
Le trille ondulé se distingue des autres par ses pétales blancs marqués d'un « V » pourpre à leur base.

Here is another shot of the Wood Warbler I found this week. I managed to catch it briefly in the sunshine which shows off its primrose throat and silky white breast. Wood Warbler was separated from Willow Warbler by Gilbert White in 1768. In a letter to Thomas Pennant he described how by listening to their songs, he had found there are three species of Willow-Wren. He called Wood Warbler the Large Shivering Willow Wren. This perfectly describes the trilling song which culminates with the bird vigorously shivering its body. Here is a recording of the trilling song of this very bird by my friend David Pennington: xeno-canto.org/799672 Towards the end you also hear it give the very different teu-teu-teu-teu call. Its scientific name is Phylloscopus sibilatrix; Phylloscopus means leaf-gleaner, while sibilatrix is a whistler, from the song.
The varied triller (Lalage leucomela) like its better-known relative the white-winged triller, is a smaller member of the cuckoo-shrike family, Campephagidae.
Varied trillers prefer warm, reasonably moist environments and are found in New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, along much of the tropical and sub-tropical coastal hinterland of eastern Australia with a particular preference for the border areas between closed and open forests.
The Varied Triller's nest is an open, shallow cup, barely large enough to hold a single egg. Nests are made of fine twigs, bark, vine tendrills, rootlets, plant stalks and grasses. The whole is bound together with spider web and lined with lichen or rootlets. The nest is usually in a horizontal fork, near the end of a thin branch of a small tree. Trees chosen are often paperbarks or mangroves. Both adult birds share the incubation of the egg and the feeding of the nestling. The incubation period is not known.

"The male adult Varied Triller is black above, with white markings on the wings and is white underneath, with grey barring on the breast. He has white eyebrows, a black eye-stripe and a rufous area on the rear underbody. The adult female is similar but browner above and her underparts are greyer with more pronounced grey bars across her breast. Juveniles are similar to the females.

Estas dos eras muy bien conservadas desempeñaron antaño un papel importante en la trilla para obtener el grano del cereal. Construidas sobre colada volcánica, aunque el terreno de cultivo está muy cerca del lugar.
Les invito a visitar mi blog de fotografía y senderismo (Tenerife y La Palma).
Olympic triple jump champion Sandhill Crane (Antigone canadensis) dancing and jumping through corn stubble. The Rowe Audubon Sanctuary estimated ~300,000 cranes by this date, more to come. It is estimated that 80% of the Sandhill cranes in North America spend 4-6 weeks along a 75 mile (120 km) stretch of the Platte River. They socialize, court mates, and put on 20% more body weight before their flight to breeding grounds in far North America.

Trilli nasce dalla prima risata di un bambino e viene portata dal vento nella Radura incantata dell'Isola che non c'è. Il suo talento è quello di essere un tuttofare, le fate che fanno e sistemano le cose...
"Quando qualcosa di rotto, un vecchio orologio riprende a funzionare, significa che una fata molto speciale è più vicina di quanto possiate immaginare..."

The adverts used to say that Trill made budgies bounce with health. This grey squirrel in Chester's Grosvenor Park seems to have had a little too much. I have no idea why it was leaping about a metre up into the air. Quite a little athlete!
Many thanks for chosing my pic as the cover.

Wikipedia: The Crested Barbet with its thick bill and very colourful plumage is unmistakable. This small bird has a speckled yellow and red face with a small black crest. The belly is yellow with red speckles, wings are black with white specks and it has a broad black band on its neck. Yellow head and body with black and white feathers, red markings on end of body, its colour blends well in the bush. They have a distinct trill.
After picking up 53 cars and dropping 50 of them at Neoga, EIRC 1040 and HLCX 3834 rounded up the first two and last plastic cars for Hi-Cone at Charleston. Seen here at Trilla, the pair of units are seen rocking and rolling down the old Nickel Plate main.
