[va-bird] Yellow-headed Blackbird

Birders,

About 8:20 AM this morning, we observed an adult Yellow-headed 
Blackbird.  Bird was in a massive flock of black birds on Route 20 
(Orange County) between Rt. 628 and Rt. 629.  The mixed flock of at 
least 5,000 birds included  Rusty, Brewer's, Common Grackles and a some 
Red-winged Blackbirds.  Bird was observed in flight as the flock 
undulated back and forth across the corn field but we could never find 
it on the ground.  After about 30 minutes the flock disappeared in a 
southerly direction.

An alert policeman noticed our suspicious behavior and checked us for 
terrorist activities, after all, the security level is Orange.

Happy birding,


George & Rosemarie Harris
Orange County
