Attention Tennessee birders: It's time for the third and final Rusty Blackbird
Blitz! As most of you know, rusty blackbirds are an uncommon and declining
species. In order to learn more about their wintering habitat, the Rusty
Blackbird Blitz was founded two years ago. The Blitz is a collaborative effort
between the International Rusty Blackbird Technical Working Group and E-Bird.
  This year, the Blitz is slated from January 29th through Feb. 13. Birders are
requested to scour likely wintering habitat and report their findings directly
to E-bird. The special link for the Blitz should be up and running by the Blitz
start date, and it will explain how to log your sightings.
  Negative input is also important, so even if you don't see any rusties, you
should still report the results of your field trip to E-Bird.
More information about rusties and efforts to help them can be found at this
