The Ides of March have passed, so we're half-way through the survey
period for contributing to the Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz.
Virginia has made a good start with its part of the survey. In the map
below I have summarized those sightings which have been submitted to
ebird thus far. As you can see there are some clusters of activity and
some places in our lovely state that haven't yet reported any Rusty
Blackbirds. If you've completed some surveys but have yet to submit the
results, please do so. If you've put off getting out and looking for
Rusties, your time to spring into action is now. I know the weather
hasn't been kind. But visit those good Rusty Blackbird habitats and
check them out. For those who may have lost the link to the website,
here it is with all its information on habitat preferences,
identification tips, survey protocol, data sheets, and more:

Let's finish the month in true Blitz fashion.
