I've just received the updated totals for Checklists reporting
Rusty Blackbirds. It's clear the more northerly states are beginning to
move up in the list. I haven't recorded any Rusties in my last three
trips to Dismal Swamp. Still it would be nice to hold our present
position in the list, so keep looking for and reporting Rusties to
ebird. If you haven't submitted some earlier sightings, please do so.
Here are the top few state totals:
US State # Checklists Reporting RUBL
US-NY 782
US-OH 736
US-PA 591
US-MI 534
US-VA 433
US-IL 429
US-WI 402
