[va-bird] Re: Bird ID from Huntley Meadows

Bob,

I read your message on the VA-Bird archives before I checked my email and 
I assumed from it that you were referring to the Rusty Blackbird. This 
was confimed when I opened up three other messages all telling me that it 
was a Rusty Blackbird. I got carried away by the illustration of 
"occasional female has pale eye" for the Brewer's Blackbird in Sibley, 
but I guess that was not too far off.

It could have been singing the Marseilles for all I knew as I was 
surrounded by every Grackle in North America outside of those in 
captivity. It was like a seen from "Birds."

Thanks,
Cliff
