from the sky, you may see me flying by

with a brownish-gray body and wings with
long black neck and head and a white cheek
patch. I stay with my mate for many years
and always return to the same are to breed.

your lives with our songs. I am tiny,
with small legs and four toes. Three are
in front and one is in back. I build my nests
in a variety of places, such as trees in the
woods or the eaves of city homes.

"Oh - ka - le", is my musical call.

other wetlands, especially areas where
I can find cattails. We form flocks of
many thousand birds and roam over
open country. My bright red shoulder
patches are part of my name.

like those of any other bird. two of my toes go

me dig out insects from tree trunks.

With the help of my long bill and long
slender legs, I feed on water insects. I
build my nest near water at great heights,
such as on cliffs, treetops and rooftops.
I am voiceless except for low grunts and
hissing sounds. But I can loudly rattle
and snap my bill. I am a remarkable
dancer. In winter I migrate to Africa.

When early evening comes you can
find me perched in a dead tree or pole,
searching for prey. My hearing can pick
up the sound of rustling mouse in a field
and my strong night vision makes me
feared by skunks, opossums; even ducks
and hawks. If I see you walk by, you'll hear
me call out "hooo, hoo-hoo, hoooo, hoooo".
