Hello all,There were Rusty Blackbirds in my yard yesterday in Rockvale (over by the Rockvale Middle School off Hwy 99). They were with a huge flock of mixed blackbirds.

I keep forgetting to post this. On Sunday morning, on the way home from banding the Calliope, I found a mixed flock of a few hundred blackbirds on Robert E. Lee Dr. right off of Granny White Pike (near Radnor Lake in Nashville) including at least ten Rusty Blackbirds. I've now encountered presumably the same flock two more times in the neighborhood, most recently yesterday afternoon on Ashland right off of Kingsbury Dr. I saw even more Rustys then. Hopefully they will wander through my yard at some point while I'm there. Chris Sloan Nashville, TN http://www.chrissloanphotography.com
