Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz 2015
The Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz aims to track Rusty Blackbirds
from their wintering grounds in the southeastern United States throughout
their entire migratory journey into the northeastern United States, Canada,
and Alaska.  This northward migration generally begins in early March and
finishes when the last birds reach their breeding grounds in northern
Canada.  Capturing such an extensive process requires a long window and a
certain degree of flexibility.  The overall Blitz window lasts from the
beginning of March through mid-June, the target dates for TENNESSEE is the
entire month of March.  Of course, migratory timing can vary based on
environmental factors, so please report Rusty Blackbirds to the ³Rusty
Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz² protocol on eBird
<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>  whenever you encounter them during their
northward migration!  So get ready Tennessee birdersŠas you turn your
calendars to 2015 please make a note to watch and report all Rusty
