Redwings in the park

Last year there was a pair of redwings nesting in the cattails. This year - this past week - I've seen three males, chasing each other at times. Today, two of them were sitting in trees next to each other calling loudly, and the females were there, too - one near the pond and the other in a tree not far away. I don't know if they'll settle this and stay near each other or not. I'm not crazy about their call - though it's funny the way they spread their tails and stick their wings out a bit when they hit that final croaking note - but they're attractive and nice to have around, so I hope so.
