Rusties must be on the move! My husband and I took an early afternoon hike
today in Chesterfield County's Robious Landing Park, and my sharper eyed
husband spotted five of them. I've always thought this had perfect habitat for
them but, although I've never had any luck when I've surveyed there for the
Rusty Blackbird Blitz, it's nice to be proved right!
