Bird says "SQUAK! SQUAK! HISS! HISS!" as it swoops at my head on back of my neck. As I attempt to pedal, swerving like a drunken clown into traffic, yelling "Oh Ship! Help! Help!" like a little girl. Oh and ship isn't ship.

This is about the time the birds are nesting after returning to the Upper Midwest from their southern winter retreats. The red-winged variety is particularly attracted to marshy terrain and large bodies of water, like Lake Michigan (the shores of which are lined with jogging and cycling paths). Male red wings are usually 10 inches long, and weigh just 2 ounces. They quickly establish their territory — sometime among the trees surrounding urban ponds, or in suburban neighborhoods. They're followed by a throng of a comparatively secretive female lovers (yes, male red wings are polygamous). Females tend to carry a brown, streaky coat. Males are usually black, with a red patch on their wings. By mid-June, nests have been settled. "That's when we get the attack males," explains Willard of the Field Museum. Once the roughly 10-day incubation period begins, male red wings begin hovering around the nests. Only after their young leave the nests does the aggressiveness calm down.-from Time Article Nesting season is in full swing for the red-winged blackbird, making the males extremely aggressive.
