We have had seven Rusty Blackbirds in the yard for the last two days (92nd
yard bird) and we live within a few miles of Ron and Dollyann. Along with
the blackbirds we have seen lots of other birds on the feeders and foraging
on the ground where I have put extra feed:

Mourning Dove - 20+

Downy Woodpecker - 2
Blue Jay - 6
American Crow - 4
White-breasted Nuthatch - 2
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 1 (on suet)
Brown Thrasher - 3
Eastern Towhee - 6
Fox Sparrow - 1
Chipping Sparrow - 6
White-throated Sparrow - 5
Song Sparrow - 3
Dark-eyed Junco - 7
Northern Cardinal - 12
Rusty Blackbird - 7
House Finch - 4
Purple Finch - 6
Pine Siskin - 4

Also have seen a Belted Kingfisher around our pond before the winter storm.
