Hey everyone,
It's pretty clear that there are still considerable numbers of
Rusty Blackbirds in Virginia. Please continue to submit your sightings
of Rusties to ebird using the Rusty Blackbird Blitz protocol. I
wouldn't be surprised to continue to find them in Virginia into May.
It's important to continue to visit those spots where you've had Rusties
before. I'm doing that with Dismal Swamp and they are definitely still
there. Keep it going until they are gone.
Cheers,
Bob Ake
