Very cool birds, I love their honking call from the cattail wetlands. You're lucky to have them on the eastern plains. They are rare or uncommon on the western slope. I've only once had a few Yellow-headed Blackbirds briefly visit our feeders in Central Orchard Mesa outside Palisade. It's a species in rapid decline due to habitat loss.
