This was taken in the Kootenays, British Columbia, Canada, on Thursday, June 26, 2008, 5:55 AM, Pacific Standard Time; Duration 0:14:27. The person that posted this on YouTube “forgot about this footage and had later put all [his] stuff in storage.”

It was just rediscovered and posted the day before yesterday, this week.

What do you think?

I am positive, very positive about one species that can be identified in this video: a red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). The call of that species can be heard at the beginning of this video.
