This evening, Joe McGuiness called to tell me he and Kim Stroud had found a pair of rusty blackbirds at the Fishery Pond in Erwin. They were still there when I arrived about 15 minutes later and I got a couple pictures of the pair. Not so hot shot of the male because he was blocked by lots of branches and the light was fading. The female actually looked lighter gray than the pictures show. Joe had reported to me he had found a pair earlier this morning along the linear trail in Erwin but I failed to locate them there. K.
