On a lunch break walk at Henry Horton SP today Ernest Farrell and I came on a flock of Rusty Blackbirds feeding in the thawed ground above the Duck River. These are first I've seen this winter. As suggested I sent the info to eBird's Rusty Blackbird Blitz web page. Richard Connors Nashville TN Location: Henry Horton State Park, Marshall Co.
