I'm almost positive that this is a red-winged blackbird, though it doesn't have that distinctive robotic call. I think the males make that machine-like noise, and this one is likely a female, given that it doesn't have the conspicuous red splash on its wings.
Red-winged blackbirds are numerous in North America and like to live in wetlands, meadows with tall grasses, and open woodlands. Their diets consists of seeds, grains, and insects. Throughout the months of March to June, they lay 1-2 broods of 3-4 eggs each.

I took this particular video early this year. They say that the sight of blackbirds frolicking in the cattails is a sure sign that spring is near.
