We’ve lived in the same house for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve seen a Rusty Blackbird. It was foraging near the bird feeder at 6:45 this morning and departed within 15 seconds of being spotted. (I’m trying to play catchup with Jan Shaw and Richard Connors!) The only other birds of note were 3 Fox Sparrows and 3 female Purple Finch. Melinda Welton Franklin, TN
