Not sure how rare this is, because I'm not all that familiar with bird distribution in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but I found 4 Rusty Blackbirds at the Village Creek Drying Beds off of Green Oaks in Arlington. As you enter the location, there is a wet woodland along the left (west) of the road. The birds were found along the swampy shore as the woodland merged into a small pond.
