[TN-Bird] Rusty Blackbirds in west Knox County (east Tenn)

There were two Rusty Blackbirds at Bob Leonard Park in Farragut, Knox
County, today (off Watt Road, about a mile south of Exit 369 on I-40).
At this park, there is a small swampy area in the center and the birds
stayed around the water. At one point, just as Bob Braid arrived to try
to see his 400th bird, a couple of young boys noisily wandered over to
the water and scared the birds. Luckily, the birds didn't go too far and
came back for fairly close viewing. Congratulations Bob! Also present
were Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles and a Brown-headed Cowbird,
among others.
Hopefully some people might have a chance to get over there tomorrow and
still find them.
