cucurree

Updated: May 26, 2025

The red-winged blackbird, indeed, has some really praiseworthy notes; and to me for personal reasons quite aside from any question about its lyrical value his rough cucurree is one of the very pleasantest of sounds. For that matter, however, there is no one of our birds be he, in technical language, "oscine" or "non-oscine" whose voice is not, in its own way, agreeable.
