Capture those males looking for mates

I photographed mostly egrets and avocets at Palo Alto Baylands Saturday morning.
But you sometimes get targets of opportunity. This guy landed in the reeds maybe 30 feet away:

This time of year, you'll hear red-winged and yellow-headed blackbird males screeching to attract mates. It must be attractive to the female birds, but it sounds kind of obnoxious to humans. 

All comments welcome.
