Perched high on a budding branch, a male blackbird heralds the morning with a rich, fluting song. His melody, clear and confident, rings out across the territory—a declaration of presence, a serenade to any listening female, and a warning to rivals. In the stillness of early light, his voice becomes the forest’s first instrument.
