The last time I had that many starlings showing up; they were emptying the
feeders in a couple of hours, I had to quit feeding everything for a couple of
weeks to get rid of them!!

Tom and Laverne, it sounds like the word has gotten out that your house is
the place to go to get fed in Russell County. That's a good group of
Rusties.They seem to have increased in the area this fall. Just keep the
starlings in Russell County:)
We have 4 Rusties this morning along with some Grackles and Red-wings, one
Fox Sparrow. I think this is the first time I have seen the Grackles eating the
suet.
We have 9 inches of snow over here, but it is still falling.

We have at least 10 inches of snow on the ground and the birds have invaded
our feeders. We are not used to having starlings at the feeders but yesterday
and today we have had 500 plus at the feeders, on the ground, in the driveway
and on the road leading to our house.
Along with the Starlings there were blackbirds, 15+ Red-winged Blackbirds, 25
Common Grackles, 2 Brown-headed Cowbirds and at least 12 Rusty Blackbirds.
