Happy St. Patrick¹s Day Tn-birdersŠ.
   As coordinator for TN for the Rusty Blackbird Blitz I wanted to give you
an update on the happenings so far and then a reminder of how you can still
show that volunteer spirit by getting out there and looking for Rusties
during these last 2 weeks in March.

As of this morning there were 1151 checklists with Rusty observations
submitted to eBird and 554 checklists submitted under the Rusty Blackbird
Spring Migration Blitz protocol.  So far Virginia is leading the pack and
Georgia is close behind in numbers of checklists submitted.  At least 50
checklist reports of Rusty Blackbirds have come in from TennesseeŠ

Remember this year there is a DUAL focusŠRevisiting areas of interest where
you found good numbers of Rusties last year AND also birding Rusty habitat
in general.  Reports of ³no² Rusties in those areas is as valuable as
finding them.  

So let¹s get out thereŠgo birding and don¹t forget to report your findings.
The ³official² Blitz period for TN ends on March 31stŠbut continue to report
any Rusty Blackbirds on going.

Thanks!
