About 12:15 pm today, was very surprised to see and hear a mixed flock of blackbirds on the north side of Sheldon Lake. There were at least four Rusty Blackbirds, and many more Red-winged Blackbirds, in the flooded mixed forest on the north side of Garrett Road. I first heard them when I was parked in the pullout on the south side, just east of the bridge. I followed them for about 15 minutes. Very vocal.
