Christopher and Adrian Hinkle and I observed the RUSTY BLACKBIRD at the Monmouth Sewage Ponds at 1 pm today, near the entrance to the ponds, then on the south side of the first pond. Hendrik Herlyn, Oscar Harper, and Tristen Hynes arrived soon after and viewed it as well before, at about 1:10, it flew to a tree on the east side of the 1st pond. We didn't see it in that area about an hour later. As Brandon noted, it likes to feed along the water's edge. Jamie Simmons Corvallis
